Noone can resist and rarely anyone ever disagrees. This didn't always happen with piece Battler.
2. You are granted the ability to use the blue truth outside the game board. Battler didn't gain this ability until partway through EP4 and even then it was meta-Battler and not piece Battler
And lastly I believe Erika even said something similar herself in the game in red: The detective cannot be killed in the game. Piece Battler died in all four of the first games in the final twilight.

1. I can't think of any scene where a theory Battler proposed was ignored. Do you have an example? (This was never stated to be part of the detective's authority though.)
2. Blue truth isn't something granted by the detective role. Beatrice, Ange, and Bernkastel have all used it too, and Battler used it in Episode 5 even though he explicitly wasn't the detective in that game.
3. Sorry, I'm pretty sure no such red truth exists.
There is some evidence that the detective's authority only works if you assert it. When Hideyoshi's body was found, Erika should have been able to search the whole crime scene, but Battler was able to prevent her from searching the closet.
