And about sucking out chakra, Toneri doesn't seem to be very smart in this regard, since he enganged Naruto in close combat before absorbing his chakra, and in this combat he was utterly defeated and even lost his Tenseigan, instead of absorbing his chakra right after chashing with him. The attemp to suck out Naruto's chakra was just a desperate attemp to win the battle which was already lost. I think so it's natural to assume that he can do it since before his tenseigan was formed (that is the fight during which hinata leaves, naruto's complete attack was backfired on him when he didn't use BM) But once Toneri realized he is a jinchuriki perhaps he didn't attempt to use such strategy. And two I agree that it was desperate attempt but Naruto would have lost if toneri hadn't started absorbing the energy of the sun.
