If you stand outside it, look through the door, and summon them on the other side, the barrier is already established as blocking sound, so you can't give them any orders.

You'd need to be a dwarf, look through the door to summon them, then go through it to give them orders--even assuming the barrier couldn't petrify people who acted to affect the inside of the chamber from outside it and that the barrier doesn't break line of effect. Neither of which I would assume.
Every one gets turned to stone who violates dwarven law inside the blue barrier.

"But they do explicitely forbid attacking or using any spell or supernatural ability on any creature during a council member"

the orange Barrier prevents non dwarves from entering the middle chamber.
So summoning any kind of creature outside of the blue barrier should be fine.
Heck even inside the blue barrier should be covered.
