Under what conditions can the touch function be used sensibly?
Connection with Android mobile? IPhone? PC?
It would be ideal if I could control my Android mobile phone in the same way as directly on my mobile. Is there a monitor that can do this?

The touch function is particularly useful via USB-C with devices that support video and touch signals via the same connection. Touch does not work with HDMI alone; only the image is displayed.
For your questions, this means: - Android mobile phone: Yes, if the mobile outputs USB-C with DisplayPort Alt mode and touch support via USB-C. - iPhone: Not confirmed as a general standard solution; for iPhone it depends heavily on the model and the adapters, and the available information does not provide any certainty. - PC: Yes, touch is supported with Windows and also macOS, most easily via USB-C.
If you want to control the Android mobile phone "directly as on the mobile phone", this is only possible with this monitor if the mobile phone accepts external touch inputs cleanly via USB-C. The monitor itself does not mirror the mobile phone screen with its own Android interface, but serves as a touch input screen for compatible devices.
With the information available, I cannot confirm with certainty that a monitor that operates an Android mobile phone in this form generally and guaranteed "as if directly on the mobile". I am not entirely sure whether there is a reliable solution for this with all Android mobiles; the information is not sufficient for this.
