Not really. Because he still stood in Itachi's way where as he let Oro go. I also don't think Kakashi was as scared due to the fact he still looked into Itachi's eyes while telling the others not to. If anything, he was scared for his comrades. He didn't know how powerful Itachi's ascension was, he felt he was still safe from Genjutsu (why else did he keep staring into his eyes?). Him letting Oro walk away doesn't mean much, the difference is Itachi planned to fight Kakashi (as far as Kakashi knew), Oro didn't care about fighting Kakashi either way. Kakashi had a rough idea how strong Tsukuyomi was, otherwise why would he be so frantic about closing their eyes and why would he say if you open your eyes your finished?

It makes sense Kakashi kept staring at Itachi's eyes, because he would be a sitting duck if he closed them both. Kakashi wouldn't have started sweating so profusely or had the dire expression on his face, if he felt safe from genjutsu.
