Also yes. It was made clear from the beginning of the series that the keener your mind, the better chances you had at detecting and ignoring Genjutsu (like when Sakura was better at detecting Genjutsu than Sasuke in Part 1). Also needed is refined chakra control, which MInato obviously has, since he created the Rasengan. Genjutsu: Sharingan has a shot at slowing Minato down. Tsukuyomi would probably beat Minato. But anything less than those, I think Minato can render ineffective. Also, if Kakashi has time to warn his friends before Itachi casts his Genjutsu, Minato has enough time to avoid it. Also, Minato is a sensor, and a high-level one at that. He can probably sense chakra building up in Itachi's eyes and know to avoid them.
