Basically you will want to get familiar with ray casting and converting from screen to world coordinates. Like this: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Input-mousePosition.html So you will hit the terrain and/or other objects, and as you drag, you will translate the camera based on how far you have dragged since the mouse went down. Same kind of code will tell you what you clicked in the case of grabbing it. You also need to keep track of mouse movement to determine velocity and so on for tossing. You might want to invest in an 'input gesture' package from the Asset store as it will have many of these types of codes.
