Also, being that Madara has Hashi's DNA, there wouldn't be any reason why he couldn't utilize Sage Mode since Hashi could use it and he has his DNA. It's safe to assume Madara didn't know that Hashi had Sage Mode until he used it in the Fourth War. (Unless scans and manga prove this wrong). He's already dodged FTG before (Madara doesn't have Negative Emotions Sensing for auto-dodging and Sage Mode doesn't allow for autonomous dodging so it had to be Madara himself dodging the FTG.) If Madara could've used SM naturally (through Hashi implant), he would've activated it himself (since Hashi can do it almost instantly), without having to restrain Hashi and absorb his senjutsu chakra. When he was going to attack TTJ-Obito and take his place, he told Hashi "I'm going to use your senjutsu chakra" for this goal. So nope, Madara wasn't taught senjutsu and couldn't utilise it on his own, he can just channel senjutsu-chakra absorbed from Hashi via his chest-face. But since Madara was already familiar with Hashi's senjutsu during their VoTE battle (when Hashi used Shinsusenju), he surely knew about it long before FSWW.

Also, SM grants the enhancement of your reflexes so you can dodge the incoming attack in the last moment (as Naruto has done against the Hell Stab of the Third Raikage), that's why Madara's FGT-dodging feat must be attributed only to this ability.
