Something to add before I think about it further...
I think a factor also is Gandalf's love for Pippin. What might have been the difference if anyone else had come to him wanting his help in saving Faramir? Maybe Gandalf's love for Pippin is something that can be overlooked but Gandalf is still thinking of those out on the battlefield and the way the battle is going in when he says that other will die and debates within himself for a moment about going or not.
