Itachi had his eyes closed, then when he opened them his Sharingan was activated. He obviously activated them while his eyes were closed. Good enough to get Diedara, but the same trick didn't work when Itachi used the same tactic against Kakashi with the Mangekyo. So it definitely won't be fast enough for Minato.

Zetsu was looking up before the lightning hit too, is he a lightning timer?

Being able to teleport and react on speeds of 8 Gates Guy doesn't make a difference. Alright then.

The point is Itachi can activate his sharingan with his eyes open and he can activate genjutsu as soon as he activates the sharingan as well. There's nothing stopping Itachi from just putting Minato in a genjutsu as soon as Minato sees his sharingan.

Zetsu didn't mentally react to the lightning.

Minato didn't do anything, but teleport in front of Gai, he didn't react to Gai's speed. And even if he did, it's not impressive, considering that after Gai started running towards Madara, Minato had enough time to say "Just keep forging on, no matter what Guy", Madara thought afterwards "here he comes" and Lee through Minato's kunai, all before Gai got to Madara.
