Answer 1

You should trigger your QGraphicsEllipseItem "clicked" signal with a handler method which we call it here ellipseClickHandler where you change the color of your ellipse item by calling its setBrush method like this for instance:

def ellipseClickHandler(self, ellipseItem)
    ellipseItem.setBrush(QBrush(QtCore.Qt.red, style = QtCore.Qt.SolidPattern))
