Animals do have GURPS IQ, but they still don't answer to standard Mind Control spells, instead you have to use Animal spells. So it might not be a case of "Mind Control spells only work on things with minds" so much as "Mind Control spells only work on fairly humanlike minds". Although it is called out that the Giant Ape in Dungeon Fantasy Monsters (IQ 6) is "intelligent enough" that Mind Control spells apply rather than Animal spells.

A machine is IQ0 but controllable, in an ultra tech setting you may control machines with effective IQ0 through neural connection, same with magic or psi powers vs a creature with IQ0 and no protection against control.

And an IQ 0 machine
is IQ 0 in the apparently earlier sense - if nobody is controlling it, it just sits there.
Anyhow, if an IQ 0 ooze that can move around spontaneously is rules-legal, then it seems like it should also have to make Fright Checks like any other creature, unless it has the Advantages to say otherwise.
