Itachi catching Gaara into Genjutsu is 50/50 at best. There are times when he does use Genjutsu and other times when he is like "eh" even when he is given the opportunity. This isn't kid Gaara either. This is current Gaara. I'm also confident that any Kage could break free from Itachi's Genjutsu minus Tsukuyomi. However, I doubt Itachi would ever open with Tsuku. The problem with Itachi's Genjutsu is he takes full advantage of the situation and if Gaara is caught, he might just do him as he did Orochimaru. BUT. Gaara has one key factor, the sand. It moves on it's own. I also highly doubt he and his sand are as slow as his Genin version when he was keeping up with Madara and the Otsutsuki's just fine to defend and attack. You give Gaara too little credit. There's a shot he can beat both of them. He fought gods after all.
