I have just bought a Blackmagic 12G monitor. Is it possible to connect it to the camcorder so that you can make the camera focus on a particular object by touching the object on the Blackmagic screen just as you would touch the camcorder screen?

No, not at this time, and not even when using a BMD camera. Camera control from the VA is a often requested feature, but not available at this time.
