 * Yeah, it was the Rinnegan enhancing it, which means that the Rinnegan itself posssessed an ability to block IT. And it was never stated that Sasuke's Susanoo became more durable because of the Rinnegan. At least, maybe it became stronger, but rather because of SPC, since Rinnegan has no such an ability to make chakra constructs more durable while SPC is a more powerful form of chakra which could make the techniques more powerful using it. Yet the Rinnegan was stated to have an ability to counter IT which was clearly transferred to the Susanoo. As I said, if Sasuke is using Chidori through Susanoo, does it mean that Sasuke can't use Chidori without it? The answer is clear: he can, but Chidori's scale is then smaller. The same case is in Rinnegan's ability to block the IT, extended through Susanoo, but existing on its own.
 * Sasuke already heart from Naruto that he posssesses the TBs chakra, for example, when Naruto told him that because of it he could feel Obito absorbing Ten-Tails and becoming a TTJ. Thanks to it Naruto pulled the beasts out from Obito, while Sasuke was present, also he witnessed Naruto's use of Magnet Release Rasengan with Shukaku's chakra. At least, he knew about it long before Naruto's use of Super Rasenshuriken. Also, Sasuke had some info about TSBs as well after fighting Obito, thus he was able to deduce what they are capable of. And since he still stated that Naruto would be caught outside the Susanoo, it means that even all these abilities don't suffice to protect yourself from IT.
