I've looked all over the 'planets and sectors' screen but don't see it anywhere.
Where do you set the sector tax rate

Looks like, eventually... yes!
Couldn't tell ya what triggers it, though.
Additionally, I found this line in the 00_strategic_resources script file:
influence = {
accumulative = yes
AI_category = influence
max = 1000
sector_ignore_cost = yes
}
Which seems to explain how Sectors handle the influence cost (They ignore it! Those cheaters!)
And, confirmed by Paradox Developer: https://twitter.com/Martin_Anward/status/737198287254654976
Sectors do not have influence, they ignore influence costs when building. Outposts cost for country in Clarke.
Go to contacts - empires and select your own empire.
Hovering over the icon containing a building and two flags (either under diplomatic status on the left or in the list) tells you about all your embassies.
Additionally under diplomatic status you'll see the flags of all the empires you have embassies with and can contact one of them to recall the embassy by clicking on it.

I'll give a little more elaboration on taxing sectors and give you a reference.
Note: Since the most recent update 1.7.4 this screen looks a tad different but it functions mostly the same.
The portion I highlighted is what determines your tax rate. All you have to do is click on it and you can swap between taxing rates, the max being 75%. You can see the +(Minerals/Credits) number go up and down as you alter the tax rate so you can see how much income you're taking from them. That number is how much the sector is earning. The yellow number is how much they currently have. You'll also be able to see your income rates increase/decrease as you alter the tax rate.
As of the newest updates, you can now select an option next to the sectors resources to spend influence and basically withdraw credits/minerals from the sector when they've got an excess lying around.
The button that shows credits/minerals going into that hexagon bit, next to the sectors resources, is how you put resources into the sector (to help them develop usually). Those are in increments of 100.
Each of the buttons in between are the different management tools. You can change the focus of the sector and allow them to redevelop tiles or not. (Military, Minerals, Balanced and Science).
