Weaver's detailed understanding of both Gandalfs is masterful! But I think it would be fair to say that she's talking about Jackson's Gandalf(s), not Tolkien's as such. Maybe somebody could do a similar comparison of the two Gandalfs in the book (not me, it's quite an undertaking!), but some of weaver's examples are definitely about movie-Gandalf, and are not things that Tolkien put there. That doesn't mean Jackson wasn't following Tolkien's lead, of course. I think he often is even when he goes about things a different way. But most of the specifics in weaver's examples are only in the films.
They went in, and Sam shut the door. But even as he did so, he heard suddenly, deep and unstilled, the sigh and murmur of the Sea upon the shores of Middle-earth. From the unpublished Epilogue to the Lord of the Rings
