Going through security with bag, without ticket

We are traveling Southwest Airlines from Houston to San Jose to see my sister in a couple weeks with a layover in Dallas. We are bringing our 1 year old daughter with us and dropping her off in Dallas with my parents. We did this several months ago and Southwest gave my mom a gate pass to go behind security to pick up our daughter.

This time she wants to give us a bag to bring to San Jose for my sister. Assuming Southwest gives her a gate pass, can she use it to bring the bag back?

I fail to see how or why they would possibly deny her backpack passage through their machine.

Yes. Once you have permission to go through the checkpoint you can bring anything allowable with you through the checkpoint.

TSA could care less about baggage allowances. All TSA cares is that your mother has a gate pass and the bag doesn't contain any contraband (items not permitted through the checkpoint).
