In this case, the Suess estate appears to be both the copyright holder and publisher, so they can pretty much do what they want?

It's not actually the Seuss estate, it's a corporation set up by Geisel's widow before she died, so it comes down to how the corporation was set up. Can the heirs over rule the decision or is it set up with no direct over sight? I have no idea. I would certainly think that the heirs can sue if they feel that the corporation is doing something that decreases the long term value of the books.
