I think it is related to the way is mounted your Drive Are you trying to execute it from an other partition? I got a very similar error and as far as I can tell is about the other drive (in my case) is not mounted with executable permission. Still investigating, just wanted to let you know.

You can get an interactive session by using su - mysql, and then run gedit. Works for me.
man sudo doesn't give any details, but it could be that the default shell launched with -s is very limited.

my intention is a bit different. I want to keep a terminal open that uses the mysql account previliges. That is why i use the "sudo -s -u mysql". So that any further commands don't require me to use sudo. Using gksudo to open gedit every time does not really serve my purpose.

You're looking in the wrong place, running mysql as (system) user mysql won't solve anything.
mysql is a client program, the authentication to the server, run by mysqld, is made on the connection (tcpdump port 3306 to make it clear).
Therefore, you can launch mysql with any "system" user, like:
$ mysql -u root -p localhost
Give the admin ("root") password when prompted, and then you should see this:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g.
Your MySQL connection id is 240
