Well so far, in the books, Bran doesn't really travel through time. He becomes part of the weirwoods which experience time much differently than other living things. Like a big mush of past, present and future. But, so far, he's still limited to weirwood trees and I don't see how he'd influence the Mad King without him visiting a godswood every other day.
Bran causing the mad King to go mad feels a bit cheap and easy imho. But they could certainly do it in the show since Bran's powers are different and we don't know as much about Aerys as we do in the books.

George confirmed that Hodor got his name via "Hold the Door". Although the same instance may not be the case, but I think it's likely that it was still Bran's fault in the same way. Weird time travel stuff. Plus, in the books Bran actually does call out to Theon and is seemed to be heard. I think it's safe to assume he has similar power as he does in the show!
But I could be wrong, either way it's interesting!
