Hasibul Alam Is it necessary to use 'from' here? Yes. Without "from" it would hardly make sense, or would mean that the fingernail somehow caused "me" to move, which is not the intended meaning.

Yes. Without "from" it would hardly make sense, or would mean that the fingernail somehow caused "me" to move, which is not the intended meaning. (The intended meaning is that she points first to "me" and then to Peter.)
