I'm pretty sure Oro use of clones, is to pass his knowledge and stuff to the next generation. If he actually was interested in immortality, he would escape long ago. Creating Mitsuki, Log and other clones, means one thing. Orochimaru finally wants to rest in peace, but before that, he wants his clones(as a part of himself) as in his children to further the research he is going for. Orochimaru already saw the flaws in his ways, way back. And now, he probably wants to let the new generation take his place, as what every other ninja is doing.

Karin is an Uzumaki, getting kicked by a Hashi cells enhanced Hokage level Shinobi doesn't degrade her abilities. And she had the Yamato and the guards weren't exactly trying to kill her/Mitsuki, they just wanted to capture him, so she had the advantage of running as long as she can. she eventually got caught, and she mentioned, Yamato wasn't exactly training for all those years guarding over Oro and Taka. While Karin and the rest could be training to improve their abilities. I don't see whats wrong in doing that. They all just want to jump in and be helpful to Sasuke anytime they want, so being strong would be nice.

I mean Orochimaru never attained snake sage mode due to his weak body. Kabuto actually did and mastered it. From a narrative standpoint, the only character that would be able to train Mitsuki in snake senjutsu down the road would be Kabuto. I doubt Mitsuki would be able to reach the actual White Snake Sage at this point and survive that bite that's required to be accepted as a student. On the contrary, if he could succeed, I doubt he would just disappear for a long stretch to do it.
