What if the Night King's control over the dead is just another type of Warging, but is considered taboo? Perhaps the reason why the Children of the Forest turned the humans into White Walkers: so they didn't have to dirty their own hands using such dark practices.
Also, Bran has shown us through Hodor that it's possible to warg into other people - I think they just have to have an inferior mind. The Night King is immortal and the humans are dead, so they shouldn't be too hard to control once you figure out how.
Additionally, this would explain how the wight in Season 1 knew to look for Lord Commander Mormont - the Night King could have been seeing through the Wight's eyes similar to how Bran saw through Hodor's or Summer's. Wights don't seem to have any substantial intelligence of their own, so there's no way one would be smart enough to understand the importance of the Lord Commander and actively look for him unless he was being controlled.
Finally, the eyes - when normal Wargs do their thing, the eyes turn white. But what if this particular form of Warging turns the eyes blue?
It's clear that the Night King does have some sort of Warging ability, as shown by how he interacts with Bran, but the question here is whether or not his necromancer powers are just another form of Warging or their own separate thing.
I'm tinfoil hatting at this point, but what if the series will end with Bran tapping into the 'dark side' of Warging and wrestling control over a portion of the Army of the Dead, in order to make them fight each other? This could distract them so Jon and crew can reach the White Walkers. Or maybe the Three Eyed Raven's destiny is to become the new Night King (not the past Night King/NK we have now, but a completely new one) in order to assume control of the White Walkers after the Night King's death and send them back north.
TL;DR: The Night King's control over the Army of the Dead might just be an advanced and taboo form of Warging, which Bran's own Warging powers could be compatible with.
