Yes, in fact appointing able and capable men to the senate, regardless of their birth or wealth, was one of the reasons that the rule of Augustus was so successful. The emperor, because he was head of state during the principate, could appoint all the magistrates which automatically made them members of the senate.

It depends on the "emperor" you are talking about. The emperor of Byzantium, or the Greek Eastern Empire, ruled a sophisticated state with many of the same powers and privileges as the ancient Roman emperors. The German emperors of the Latin West aspired to similar prestige, but ruled over a far more fractious polity and had to compete with powerful feudal barons for control of their realm.
Roman women had rights just about equal to men, but they still lived in a male dominated world. For example, a woman could not vote or run for public office. A woman, although she had the right to divorce, still had to have a male relative or guardian make the arrangements. A woman could only inherit a minimal amount from her husband or father. A woman could not join the army. Despite these restrictions, the Roman women had more equality with men than many of their ancient counterparts.

They could still pass certain resolutions, recognized and affirmed men as emperors, debated some issues and held high profile trials. However the outcome of the debates and the trials was always favorable to the emperor.Nothing. The senate was still a body under the emperors, but their power was greatly reduced.
