Exactly.
I get the logic that the man rune just makes you be man-like. (And, of course, all the humanoid races - except maybe dragonnewts? - have it, if I recall correctly.)

Exactly.

I would think the man rune would give you powers concerning the nature of being mortal/humanoid/sentient in a certain way/etc.

I wouldn't even think of it as being control most of the time - maybe self control.
