1. It doesn't matter if he knows it a clone. The point of the clone is for it to kill Madara while the real Itachi keeps him incapacitated with genjutsu.

2. Even if Madara puts Itachi in a genjustu, he'll still be in genjutsu. It doesn't make a difference.

3. Madara would have to activate izanagi before he got killed. 1) Alive Madara can shake off Hashirama's sage gates and simultaneously shake off Sai's sealing tiger before it's complete. A clone isn't fast or strong enough to beat Madara, I recall Madara saying that to Hashirama's wood clone.

2) Edo Madara can make 25 wood clones. Alive Madara is confirmed to make shadow clones, and judging by the wood clones, he can definitely make more than one shadow clone. So Madara can also just spam Sharingan genjutsu on Itachi, much more times than Itachi can spam it on Madara.

3) Again, Madara's clones can outnumber Itachi's clones.
