Answer 1

You should dispatch event and use following snippet to keep inputs behaviour:

DEMO jsFiddle

function aa() {

    $("#sortable").sortable({
        start: function (event, ui) {
            $(this).data('preventBehaviour', true);
        }
    });
    $("#sortable :input").on('mousedown', function (e) {
        var mdown = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
        mdown.initMouseEvent("mousedown", true, true, window, 0, e.screenX, e.screenY, e.clientX, e.clientY, true, false, false, true, 0, null);
        $(this).closest('li')[0].dispatchEvent(mdown);
    }).on('click', function (e) {
        var $sortable = $("#sortable");
        if ($sortable.data("preventBehaviour")) {
            e.preventDefault();
            $sortable.data("preventBehaviour", false)
        }
    });

}
