The error message that is displayed when called from emacs points in the right direction, p4 can't find your perforce server (the default is perforce, that's where the perforce: host unknown comes from.
Make sure to either specify -p for your call to p4 or set the environment variable P4PORT. Beware, despite the name, P4PORT includes the hostname of the perforce server.
p4 -p serverhost:1666
I'm not sure why p4 would hang indefinitely on the CLI and return after some time when called from emacs.
