Daneel would probably be able to tell that Gabriel's not human, and I reckon he should be able to read him well enough. Angels seem to feel things pretty strongly, even if they don't always show it, but on the other hand they probably have decent mental defenses, so I guess it'd even out to about normal? It's usually not too hard to tell if Gabriel's getting emotional about things just from body language, so I suppose it's not such a big deal in his case. As far as I'm concerned, Daneel's welcome to read him pretty well, unless you think he shouldn't be able to.
As for the influence part of his abilities, I guess it'd depend on the circumstances - like I said, angels are probably going to have defenses and be harder to manipulate than the average human, but that doesn't necessarily mean it wouldn't work. Gabriel's quite easy to manipulate by normal human means and he's not all that emotionally aware so he might not even notice, so... I don't know. Talk it out if it ever becomes relevant?
