So having a possibility to have a pre-flight test of the translation (or even watch the demo of the original in action) is something Selenium could deinitely help. In many cases, translators do not have permission to experience some interface in the live environment (CheckUser, AbuseFilter, etc.). Could Selenium solve this problem as well? Is it just mocking up the interface or do I need a instance behind that is somehow setup somewhere?

It needs a tests instance.
I've been beating this drum for years (that translators need to be able to see their message(s) in context). But having to watch an automated test suite exercise all of the features of an extension in order to check the 5 new messages you are translating, seems less than efficient.
What would be nice for a first take would be if, from translatewiki, one could click a link that would take one to a list of screens that show the message in question, with the text highlighted even. Even if the only thing we had to work from was a display of the English language texts in context, that would still be a big step up from where we are now.
Yes, and the other way around is also possible and probably even easier to implement - from a wiki to translatewiki. I just opened an enhancement suggestion about it:
