Talking to Sasuke, Itachi literally stated to Sasuke when he asked that he needed more prep time. Also regarding on whether or not Itachi needed Sasuke for the prep, that's debatable. However, Itachi was an edo in that scenario, and therefore didn't have to worry about dying or being incapacitated.

Obito didn't mean that literally, he meant that Sasuke never saw Itachi's true intentions. Itachi had shaped his world from the beginning with his lies and Sasuke never saw through it.

Although you're correct, Itachi could have killed Sasuke in that fight.

That's not an argument. You can't chalk up every single one of Naruto's win to plot. There's some yeah that Naruto shouldn't have won, but often times he really did pull through with those two jutsu.

In any case, the point remains. Itachi has less of a chance of landing his winning moves than Minato. He has more moves, but Minato is more likely to hit him,
