I want to like, block interaction with a window that I am keeping on top of other windows so I can see it but still click to stuff behind it.

It turns out mpv already has this implemented. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/8949

Technically no windows or mac support (presumably it’s possible there; dunno), but OP only asked for linux stuff so I’ll close this

And then I could remove the title bar if I really don’t want to interact with the app.

    I actually tried this right after I made this post, and it was not where near as smooth as I wanted. KDE would put the window that I had assigned to all desktops on top, whenever I would switch virtual desktops.

    I found a solution though, it looks like mpv has support.
