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!

Right but he can only seem to talk to people through the weirwoods so far. He doesn't actually travel to the past the three-eyed crow just explains that people see time one way and weirwoods experience time another way. So while he's in the weirwoods he can see the past from their weird perspective. But he doesn't walk around freely.
And, aye, GRRM said Hold the Door would be different in the books.
