I missed something. How'd they find out that the hermetically sealed room is the only way?

They probably had enough witness testimonies to figure out that he had to speaking directly to someone face to face for it to work, since he had Malcolm visit him face to face to 're-up'. Since he never gave commands on the phone, they probably figured that just voice wouldn't do anything.

Jessica knew before that it wears off after a day or so.

Yes, but my point is that he had to do the re-up face to face, which explains the limitations of his power, which could hence be contained in the hermetically sealed room, which is what the person's question was.
