But what was so special about what she did that makes it only possible for a teep to do it?

It isn't that "only a teep could do it", nor do I think that Draal
knew she was a teep. Sometimes the characters actually mean what they say. When Ivanova more-or-less stumbled across that fragment of conversation she actually
forced the Eye and/or the GM (I forget if she was engaged with both at that point, or just the GM) not to move on but to stop and focus on that moment long enough to get more details. That's something no normal Human should have been able to do. (Draal, a Minbari with some training and months of experience with the GM can presumably do that sort of thing, but a your average Human off the street plugged into the GM wouldn't be able to.)
Therefore Ivanova has to have
something different or special about her, but there's nothing to say that Draal has any specific idea about what that trait might be. That's why he seems
surprised. Ivanova was not introduced to him as a telepath, so he'd have no reason to jump to that conclusion, especially since it is well-known that Human teeps have to belong to Psi-Corps and wear ID at all times.
