To put the desk in front of the character, go to the time line panel and on the left drag the desk puppet above the character puppet (with the background scene puppet at the bottom). The order of puppets in the scene controls what is in front of what.
To point at the screen you want the hand to look different i am guessing. That will probably require different artwork, so you need to draw it. You can do a single arm frame pointing forward and use a swap set on the arm, otherwise draw a few intermediate frames and inside the swap set use the cycle layers behavior to display the sequence of frames for a smoother transition. There are lots of tutorials around for swap sets.
To move both hands in a scene recording at the same time, you can either use a touch screen (which allows multi-touch), or what i do is record one arm then move the playhead back and record the second arm. If you want to see the other arm while you do the second recording, add a second dragger behavior to the puppet then arm the first one for the first arm, and arm the second dragger behavior for the second arm. This is the only way to see the previous dragger recording while doing a new one.
