What happens when you capture the Apostolic Palace and you have no cities of the AP religion? Does it remain under the same religion it was founded and the current resident stays in place, thus allowing the AI to magically start controlling your foreign policy?

It remains under the same religion and has the same resident as before, but I'm not exactly sure on the foreign policy issue.

When you capture the AP, it's religion is in the city you capture and you're therefore now a voting member. To stay in control of the AP and to be voted president thereof, you better start spreading it's religion (as well as adopting that as your state religion) to your other cities to ensure you have enough votes.
I've been in that situation once and it won me the game. Before capturing the AP I was not a member, the rest of the world was, and they kept voting against me. After capturing the AP, I run missionaries to all my other cities, as well as changing to the state religion of the AP. That, in combination with warfaring (and extermination of minor "infidels"), won me an early diplomatic victory.
