My trackpad seems to not behave properly, i.e., sometimes mouse gestures don't work.
Recently, when I start the computer, sometimes there are problems with the graphic screen, it looks like a hardware type problem. Later during the day, the windows seem to move to the side. I fix this by using 'killall Dock'
Is this problem hardware related?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
Is it one of these MacBooks? https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
I don't think so - mine is 13 inch
Then I don't think so either. 🙂
Try resetting the SMC. If the problem reoccurs, post a follow-up.

The most troubling thing you report is the graphic problems.
Run Apple Hardware Test
Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support
AHT isn't the most reliable tool, Apple has better tests for your hardware. So if hardware is suspected, best to bring it to any Apple store for a free evaluation.
Trackpad issues can also be a swollen battery. if it is putting upward pressure on the underside of the trackpad assembly, strange things can happen. You need to check for this immediately because the swelling WILL continue with the potential to permanently damaging expensive bits, and eventually leaking caustic chemicals--that can take out the entire logic board.
