I don't understand why you're still claiming that Minato doesn't have intel on Itachi and that Itachi has a lot of intel on Minato. Hokage Minato knows about Madara and all the clans in the village, their specialties and history. Reasonably, he should know the core of the Uchiha's abilities, which are genjutsu, shurikenjutsu and fire release and of course the sharingan. Which are the core of Itachi's battle style.

Minato is definitely not gonna be surprised that Itachi, who is an Uchiha, specializes in genjutsu. I find it highly unlikely that Minato would get caught in genjutsu, due to his quick battle style and his fine chakra control.

For the actual battle, I see Minato attacking and throwing his kunai in strategic locations. Itachi would try to end the fight with genjutsu, but wouldn't work in my opinion. Itachi might try to weave signs for jutsu but Minato wouldn't let him, so Itachi is forced to use his shurikenjutsu, taijutsu to fend off Minato's initial assault.

They would both back off after this and analyze each other's abilities at this point.

How would the terrain affect the battle though?
