Am I right in thinking I can simply remove the gauge and blow into it hard to see if air is coming out of the other cylinder?
As for the MMO soak, that's probably not a bad idea no matter what. Can I have some specifics on how to do that? Is there a specific phase the engine should be in when I pour MMO into a cylinder and let it soak? How much to pour in?

You should not use the same head gasket twice. Once on and torqued that's it. If the head comes off again for some reason a new head gasket is required. That said, I'd try the oil soak as suggested just in case you got away with it
