Is it possible to use a particular thing from jQuery Mobile in a non jQuery Mobile project?
Ans).At the moment-No.
JQM team has hinted at a possible download builder in which you can configure what all widgets you need from JQM to define your own custom version,when RC 1.0 was released.
From the release notes:
Download builder: In the works
Now that we’ve decoupled most of the UI widgets, we’ve set the stage
for there to be a download builder. This will let you build a custom
version of jQuery Mobile to only include the parts you need. For
example, you could just use the core files to add Ajax-based
navigation with pushState and leverage some of the touch events and
other utilities with a very lightweight build (roughly 10k). Or, you
could add in specific UI widgets like form elements, listviews, etc.
to create an optimized build. We’re aiming to have a download builder
tool launch as part of 1.0 final in some form. We’re working on a
dependency map now for all the plugins to support this tool.

But this was not released in 1.0 final.So hopefully we can expect something like this in future versions
