If you open a trade or wisp and he don't reply, yeah sure, you're right. No debate.
But endless tab target mobs is not enought. I did that few time, bind a key to macro with /tenemy /ac "spell" <t>, and keep spaming it while watching a movie windowed. (Still keeping eyes on games since rules specify you should be able to answer immediatly to any GM wisps)

If someone opened trade after you pulled a mob, would you break the trade or just stand there targeting other mobs in a cycle and die?

Why not ? Yeah, rule state you should only reply to a GM.
But if you are behind the screen doing manual control, i don't see why ignore the wisp and let other player think you are a bot. It's just being polite.
As for trade windows, i usually leave 1 gold piece and ask politly to find a job

They don't need to accept the trade but, a bot will just sit in one spot and since they are targeted you can see what they target. So if you have them in a trade and the targets keep rapidly switching that is a bot. As long as that trade window is up that bot will not go any place. As soon as you close the trade window that bot will continue is selected tasks.

I pretty much deleted everything I was going to say. Put it this way, if you open trade with a bot and it tab targets every single mob nearby in an endless cycle without any further reaction then you pretty much know what you're dealing with.

This is 100% correct. This is one of the many ways to detect a bot.
