[1] We can point to an object in many ways other than verbally - for example, by shifting your gaze from your interlocutor to the corresponding object. That is, pointing to an object is an action.
[2] Context is not something given from the outside, it is constructed by the subject and in technical language is called a description of the current situation, the content of which depends on the assessment of the importance of incoming information (the most important ones are selected due to the limited capacity of available memory).
Context includes all the objects, not only relevant ones. It can be proved - in the last picture "blue rectangle" is not sufficient to point at the single object.
But often the problem in the process of dialogue arises because the contexts constructed by the parties to the dialogue differ, and there is something present in the context of one party and absent in the context of the other party. Therefore, in the case of dialogues that are important for both parties, there is a subtask of coordinating contexts.
A couple of additions.

True.

Very good! You are ready to discover what truth and lies are. The latter can only be considered as misreporting of one's private context.
Regarding coordinating context, isn't that what writers do all the time?
