Answer 1

Apart from restriction that it won't work on IOS, there is a plugin in flutter which does the trick System Alert Window

It shows Truecaller like overlay window, over all other apps along with callback events

Answer 2

You can perform the similar action using Draggable widget but that will work only inside the app and inside same Stateful/Stateless widget.

The reason why "drawing over other apps" is not possible in Flutter till yet is because iOS does not support this functionality. You can always log an issue at Flutter's GitHub repository
