Try to read the manga carefully before reply. The fight was short and it was in the flashback of 3rd Hokage during his battle vs Orochimaru (chapter 122)

Sasuke survived and Itachi died, so it still can be considered that Sasuke won (there are a lot of ways to win a battle, it depends on a lot of factors, killing opponent is not the only factor that make you win a battle) also Itachi never want to kill Sasuke and if he wanted he would use Izanami in the start.

The first fight between Jiraiya and Orochimaru didn't show up clearly so we will never know who is better at that time, but according to all of jutsu they've been used in the series I still give Jiraiya slightly advantage, however Oro can kill him too because Jiraiya is more naive and merciful.
