Question

When scrolling with the mouse, how do I make the cursor push the screen instead of the screen drag the cursor?

I switched to iTerm 2 on macOS, but in the regular macOS terminal when I scroll the scrolling moves the cursor not the window. In iTerm 2 it only scrolls the window. I can't find the setting to set this back again. I found set mouse=a but this doesn't do the trick.

To clarify I do not want a scroll offset. I want the physical scroll action to move the cursor not the screen.

How about

nnoremap <ScrollWheelUp> k
nnoremap <ScrollWheelDown> j

? I can't test on osx though, but it works on my linux installation.
