I don’t think he acquired Neighbour-like powers just from being knocked out.  But that’s beside the point.  Horn had to be alone for days to be in such a state that he would betray his family to an inhumi.  Seawrack deciding he was dead works for this, and also indicates something about her, i.e. that she is relatively clueless about such matters, and perhaps also decides too easily that she has lost her man. 
As for Babbie, he actually sees him when he is alive.  Horn shuts his eyes.  Unless you think Horn died exactly then, Babbie got it wrong.
But like you say, neither is human even if Seawrack may have been once.  Would it be surprising if Horn saw a Neighbour from twenty feet and thought he was dead, then later found out he wasn’t?
Nobody’s even sure how to kill inhumi!
