The same would happen for Nagato, who was a master sensor nagato is not a master sensor or he would not be blinded by simple smoke bombs. as for the buildup of chakra for Amaterasu fire how do we know he sensed it and did not see the flames coming using this sharingan and actavated Kamui to avoid it. i feel itachi in his prime could combined the power of Amaterasu's flames with his fire ninjutsu to create a wall of flames. also he does creat a wall of flames in against sasukes fire attack on the discription page of Amaterasu. (i just checked) also as Amaterasu is a lock on attack that will hit a person in the users field of vision and itachi has Nagato dead in his sites and locked on in this scenario, so nagato would have ether disperse it with shira tensai or attempted to absorb it regardles of how big it is as Nagato does not seem to have a spacale manipulation jutsu to phase threw the attack.

also the point of the using a powerful jutsu in this case was to saturate the area with itachi's chakra sigiture making it hard to pinpoint were he is. also i dont think it is possible to absorb a fire that burns for seven days and seven nights as it burns for seven days and seven nights. if he could have absorbed Amaterasu i think the resurrected nagato would have done that instead of blowing it away with a shira tensai?(sorry about my spelling its not my forta)

Itachi does carry a short sword and used it to cut off orochimarus hand for pett's sake. i dought he would stop carrying it later on and its listed as one of his tools.
