Answer 1

No need to make overcomplicated.

$('a').on('touchend', function() {
    $(this).click();

Answer 2

To get the links working without breaking touch scrolling, I solved this with jQuery Mobile's "tap" event:

    $('a').not('nav.navbar a').on("tap", function () {
        var link = $(this).attr('href');
        if (typeof link !== 'undefined') {
            window.location = link;
        }
    });
