There is a difference between Jonin and Kage lvl. Minato wouldn't be able to do heavy damage against Ay nor was he able to blitz Bee. You can say that he wasn't aiming to kill Bee or wasn't prepared for it, but that would just mean that Minato was pretty naive. I mean considering that they were in "war". Raikage said "To be able to touch me even though I'm clad with Raiton. That's something." So he did bypass the cloak. Also, Naruto was not aiming to penetrate the cloak since the Raikage's inhuman edo body would recover from injuries faster than they could seal him. The guy survived even a point blank Rasenshuriken. Forcing him to hit himself with his own technique was the best he could do at that point.

And Minato was indeed not trying to kill Ay. He even said that their next encounter would be as Hokage. Just like Ay, his loved one was also a Jinchuuriki so he could relate. That is why he spent most of that sequence giving a lecture to him.
