The main issue practice seem to have is with mumbling. It will depend on the proctor but you may get away with moving your lips and very quiet whisper...

We usually murmur or our lips move when we read a passage or any other question, although we don't utter anything and our volume is also negligible, but our lips still move.
Are we allowed to do so in case of the Online GMAT?

Proctors will usually disapprove of any appearances of talking. If your lips are moving, you may be asked to stop lip/mouth movements that may indicate communications.
Has anyone faced this issue and how did you tackle it?

I definitely talk to myself a little bit (under my breath) while taking the GMAT. I always try to keep my volume low, however, and my proctors never said anything about it.
In fact, the only time during my GMAT Online exam(s) that the proctor spoke to me over the computer's audio output is when I (unconsciously) placed my hand near my mouth / chin area for a moment. That's a big no-no, as is looking away from the screen (unless you are looking at your whiteboard, of course), which I learned the hard way when my 1st attempt at the online exam was cancelled by Pearson Vue test security for that very reason.
Having taken both the At-Home GRE and the GMAT Online multiple times now, I will definitely admit that Pearson Vue's test security and proctoring is more strict than that of ProctorU. That being said, it's nothing to worry about, as long as you keep your hands and your eyes in the right places.

. Any idea when they may allow so? I am in the red zone and can't go out to give the exam. 
Verbal in GMAT never feels easy though.
