So who can edit a token action? Is it only players with control/edit permissions or another with the GM tag or both?

Token Actions can come from two sources and the answer is different for each: 1) Character Abilities: Whomever can edit a character can edit Abilities on a Character, including Abilities that are Token Actions. 2) Macros: only the author of a Macro can see or edit its contents, even ones that are shared or Token Actions.

I only recently learned #2. It's not obvious.

Rarely done, but a Token Action can also come from code in the character sheet, which cannot be edited by either player or GM. If the GM is a Pro user they can edit the sheet's HTML as a custom character sheet.

Is that just as a special case of an Ability, or is there something in Character Sheets that adds TokenActions without adding Abilities?

I can't find the wiki reference, but it's a special class applied to buttons: <button class="tokenaction" type="roll" name="attr_initiative" title="initiative" value="@{initmacro}"></button>

As Rabulias points out, its a special feature of character sheets, and it doesnt add Abilities. Sheet Authors (that are aware of this feature) tend not to use it because users have no control of them: they cant edit them and they cant disable them.
