‘What actual power/influence did Constantine, as emperor, have over the Church when he converted?’
Constantine converted on his death bed. His influence on the Church subsequent to that point was through his son Constantine II.

Of course his "conversion" is a legend. There is no proof whatsoever he ever considered himself a Christian.
