is it possible to create a web view that bypasses VoiceOver when in focus such that all clicks and swipes go to the web application itself and are not intercepted by the screen reader. If so, how? If not, how can we send a click to an application that needs the (x, y) coordinates of where it was clicked.

In a browser, operational roles such as role="application" are intended for exactly to allow the content to handle the user input directly (although the accessible name of the focused element are still fed to the screen reader). Have you tried using role="application" in your web view?
