Paired devices are the ones your Bluetooth chip knows about. I think Android
calls them "Saved devices" or at least that's how it translates back from
russian.

"Paired at the moment" are being "Connected". This part is simple.

Which mouse vendor/model are you using? I experience a similar behavior with
Logitech MX Keys keyboard: it autoconnects when being touched or even hovered
by a palm.

At this point I wonder, have you used Bluetooth on other systems? It's a
standard behavior. There is no way to know whether a connection would succeed
until you try; and also a user might turn their device on while pressing
"Connect" at the same time, so that the device isn't even ON when that happens
but the connection will eventually be established after a couple of seconds.

Bluetooth is not Wi-Fi, don't expect it to work the same way (:
