I'm implying that he had both hands tied behind his back, essentially, and managed to come out on top.

Whether he can kill one or not would heavily depend on how hurt a Biju would be by his own Bijudama, since Minato can essentially reflect them straight back. I think that, given Minato's abilities specialties, defeating a Biju would be orders of magnitude easier for him that actually killing one. I mean, his specialty is spacetime ninjutsu and sealing, which is vastly better suited towards stopping one, whereas the Raikage's abilities are better suited towards actually inflicting harm.
