"Threads Woven of Shadow":
In fact, [Graendal] might have been the best at [Compulsion] who ever lived. [Demandred] let the gateway vanish but held on to saidin; those tricks did not work on someone wrapped in the Source.
We know the Forsaken have a weave that not only disguises the ability to channel, but also the "glow" of holding the Source. It's extremely probable that Semi would just hold onto saidar whenever she was near the Crystal Throne, and thus remain unaffected by its Compulsion-esque abilities.
This is the likely explanation. It also is probably why Rand was immune to the compulsion that Alanna tried to use on him via the bond. He was holding the power at the time.
I don't think this has anything to do with it. I think it's as simple as bonded male channelers cannot be compelled (lowercase) by the bond. Much like Elayne can't compel Birgitte.
Semirhage is immune to the Crystal Throne

And it didn't protect Elayne from Moghedien's compulsion either

Perhaps being exposed to the Dark One makes them immune to such weaves from lesser foes
