The truth is we dont really know what position Fredo, Michael does mention 'Fredo and his men' when talking to HAgen early on, so he does have some sort of power in the family
I think Fredo "had men" just to make him feel good. Maybe a few accociates, but I doubt highly if he controlled any wiseguys.Remember in the boathouse-"Send Fredo off to do this,send Fredo off to do that,send Fredo off to run some Mickey Mouse nightclub somewhere,send Fredo off to pick someone up at the airport"
The feds thought that because Fredo was the boss's brother, that naturally he was an underboss.
