There seems to be two types of wandless magic:  accidental and (for
lack of a better term) intentional.

The things you listed Harry doing would fall in the Accidental
category.  There must be quite a bit of this type of inadvertent magic
as Fudge tells Harry  members of the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad
have been to Privet Drive & punctured Aunt Marge.

As for Intentional wandless magic, we see Albus Dumbledore do it a few
times.  No books or notes handy, but I do clearly remember him changing
the house colors on the decorations at the End of Year feast in SS/PS.
