If in doubt, drill them out and plug with suitable dry dowel and Gorilla Glue / Titebond.

I would be tempted to line the channel with a plastic membrane so minimal water can get to the knot

That's son of....... He probably doesn't even know who Holding is. His dad certainly does.

To the OP: you're not going to get a long life out of your gutter no matter what you do with the knot. That's just a bit of fast-grown low grade redwood. Even the fact that it was likely pressure treated is irrelevant now as you've cut through the protective surface (chemical treatment only penetrates 3 to 5mm). Your biggest enemy, believe it or not, isn't the water, but the sun, which will twist it and open up the grain, rendering your efforts with bitumen a short term fix. Obviously don't use knotting. In fact, don't use anything. Bitumen is far and away your best answer, but, as I said, even that is doomed to fail in a year or two.
Sort of. It was used by one or two after dinner speakers on the cricket circuit in the 90s, including Freddie Trueman. So although it may not have been said on the radio, it has most certainly been said a number of times in public.
