You're relying on cursorline and cursorcolumn to "flash" the location of your cursor, if I understand your script correctly.

Setting 'cursorline' and 'cursorcolumn' (the options) only affects one window (the current one), but you can turn it on or off in other windows as well, and the highlight will remain there when you leave the window. But the CursorLine and CursorColumn highlight groups affect the highlight in all windows.

So, if you normally keep these options off, then by default you will only flash the active window.

If, however, you have left the options on in other windows; then no, there is not a way to change the highlight of the cursor in a single window only.
