1. Minato has his modified flying raijin djutsu (i wrote modified because tobirama was the creator of this djutsu but minato took it into higher level) Although Itachi has His crow clone & gaindjutsu to dodge that but minato is far more creative & he is a hokage level shinobi. Battle against obito was the prove that how fast could he think & make moves. so casting gendjutsu will be very difficult against minato.

2. He has sage mode & power of kurama. Itachi has the power of izunagi & izunami (although that can cause his one eye). So I think He will use his half body susano.

3. Rasengan vs amataratsu.. well itachi had a clear advantage in this as fire is superior to wind

4. I think the main cause of itachi's defeat will be the lack of chakra he posses comparing to minato. Minato also has various sealing djutsu under his sleeves. Few corrections, though. Hokage Minato did not have Kurama while alive. He only got it after he sealed half of it on himself and died protecting Naruto. Also, it was never said Itachi could use Izanagi even though it would make sense since the technique doesn't seem as complex to perform (since even a non-Uchiha like Danzo could do it). Izanami, on the other hand, would not work on Minato since he has no complexes about himself at this point in time (though I do see how it could work against Edo Minato).

As for your argument, I don't think there will be a clash between Rasengan and Amaterasu simply based on how the two techniques are cast. And honestly, I think Amaterasu would be the least of Minato's problems as it seems to be the only one of Itachi's mangekyou sharingan jutsu which can be anticipated easily.
