mouse movement alone is a control input isn't it?

The NES dpad is four 'buttons' for a total of four inputs, so you could argue mouse movement is four inputs. But also there was the light gun for the NES https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NES_Zapper which could be used to point and 'click' any spot on the screen, so its not like using mouse input is completely crazy, just pretend its the light gun

also, do we include the start and select buttons in the 8 allowable keys? or can we have 4 movement/ 4  buttons and select/start?

Take a look at a NES controller, there's four directions (the 'DPAD') and four buttons (Start, Select, A, B)
