Based on available renderings for both skycranes[1][2], the motors do not appear to have any gimble ability, so must be controlled by thrust alone. It's interesting that the valves consume 168 watts of power each, 1.34kw of power just for the throttle valves. The paper in [4] mentions they were adapted from the same engines used for the Viking landers. A paper specifically on the EDL system [4]. Page 13 is where the fun starts. The IMU appears to be a Honeywell MIMU [5][6] and is combined with a radar altimeter for navigation and attitude control.
