And is this executable "emacs" a binary, a shell script, a sym-link  
to whatever?

You can set in Lisp a PATH environment variable:

	(setenv "PATH" "the right one")

but this can be dangerous when you change path or PATH for your login  
and interactive shells.

I suppose so.

GNU Emacs should inherit this value. Therefore I am asking another  
time if your "emacs" command is some shell script that manipulates  
path or PATH.
