I always thought that the Wights were limited by the power of the Witch King. The quote from the UT and the fact that Gandalf says that being imprisoned by the Wights was the most dangerous moment makes me believe they were servants of the Witch King. Maybe the puppet analogy is too strong. Maybe he just animated their bodies with his power and inhabited them with his will to do evil.
