I reckon she (Korra) could recover her normal abilities by entering Avatar state, plainly learning how to bend again.

In Avatar state he's probably unable to do anything to her because her bending comes from spiritual memory, instead of physical.

I personally suspect he plainly found out some (fictional; we don't know bending irl) point what distorts the brain's part that steers bending, seeing how he always touches the same place, and how he didn't have the glow Aang caused with Ozai - he didn't siphon the energy, he blocked it.
