Doubtful. Naruto won against Gaara in part 1, when Gaara was the strongest of all genins and Naruto has nothing more than his shadow clones, summon and only started to learn how to tap into Kurama's chakra. Current Naruto, with Sage Mode, Rasengan, Rasenshuriken and Kurama Mode would win serious fight against Gaara every time, though a sparring, without use of lethal force, would be interesting.

I think they should, but Tsunade never showed she can use it, but maybe she thinks her ultimate healing and crushing strength is enough and never bothered to learn Senjutsu.
