I don't think he can mind control people, except for Hodor. He's not demonstrated it on anyone else, and the rest of the group assumed it worked on Hodor as he was a bit simple.
I also don't think he knows everything that is going to happen, he hasn't really shown it. The old three eyed raven knew when he was going to die, but even that can't have been too clear, or he couldn't at least explained to Bran why it was dangerous to look around by himself.
