(even if it’s not turned on yet) by holding your mouse

Move to [iPad] will immediately send it over to the iPad
and activate Sidecar.
To stop using your iPad as a secondary display,

By default, your iPad running Sidecar has a two-bar
interface border around the display area that you can
interact with using your fingers. If you find these bars
distracting, you can turn off both of them by clicking
AirPlay’s blue rectangle in the Mac’s menu bar and
clicking Open Sidecar Preferences at the bottom. (YouiPADOSYoucanalsosendanapptoSidecaratanytime
