If you want to do it on focus loss, why do you try to handle totally unrelated on mouse move/out?

Yep. Shared the same thought in my answer. Based on the need, one can implement the behaviour.

Solution 1

onmousemove is a wrong event you are using for your need.

Use (choose event based on your need):
onmouseover OR onfocus: for showing the div
onmouseout OR onblur: for hiding the div

Further, to hide, use: display = none;
to show, use: display = block;

I voted 4. I would also explain that div is not a focusable element; OP needs to use some control to add a handler to it, but show/hide some other element, such as div. Also, I don't see what event should show the element again -- it's important to understand that a hidden element cannot invoke any events.
