Hmmm....I am hesitant to offer another scenario.
Tolkien stated that the Nazgul would obey Frodo momentarily and induce him to leave Mount Doom. However, Frodo is a very strong hobbit so say the least. I doubt that he would fall so easily pray to their lies. In time, couldn't the Nazgul become Frodo's Ringwraiths, faithful to him alone? Couldn't the power of the Ring make the Nazgul faithful to him? As I understand it they are bound to the Ring...

Am I way off in thinking that the Nazgūl would follow Frodo's commands at all? If he, immediately, told them to level Sauron's ranks instead of those from Minas Tirith?

If I am correct in thinking that it is the Ring that binds them, then wouldn't the real question be
Would Frodo have the strength of will to make them do that?
Of course, the Ring is Sauron's so ultimately Frodo would fall, but it would be interesting to see how long he could last as Lord of the Rings.

What kind of whims are we talking about? How would friends and foes react?

Well...I would assume that Frodo would first do the noble things ("win" the war, rebuild what had been destroyed, etc). Undoubtedly the wise on the good side would be displeased.
I wonder what would become of the whims though, noble as they might be. Would they gradually become a curse disguised in blessing? Rather like the White Witch climbing over the wall for the apple instead of going through the Gate.
