The libssh2 part is trivial to do, and it sounds like you have
finished that already.
Your challenge is to develop a proper terminal emulator, which allows
applications on the server to fully control the user's screen through
sending of special command bytes.

Yes, everything that is not simply adding one new character to the
screen requires a complete terminal emulator.
There are some portable codebases that you may be able to re-use.
PuTTY is one of them.

You are using libssh2 correct already, as long as you call
libssh2_channel_request_pty() - but that is the easy part.
I would expect a terminal emulator to be a couple of thousand lines
of code. Maybe less for the simpler ones. Look around and see what
you can find.
