There's a dust cloud that usually signals Body Flicker was used in the manga. But when he teleports to the Iwa-nin no such cloud appears. Also, unless Kakashi kept Minato's FTG kunai from before, there was no marking for him to teleport to Kakashi with. IIRC Kakashi kept the kunai in his pouch, which is why Minato could save him later on, when he fought all those Iwa ninja during the war.

Underestimating opponents in general is unreasonable, but it's in his character to do so. Obito obviously didn't want to use Izanagi and therefore another Sharingan on Konan, he just underestimated her and got closer to dying than against Minato.

Minato could have turned around faster than Obito since, you know, Minato was the fastest Shinobi who ever lived at that point. Staying Intangibl is fine but it's harder to get your bearings with your opponent if all they're doing is slipping around behind you. Chaining Minato is a valid strategy, idk why you think it's not because just because it wasn't Obito's only option.

Because Minato hadn't marked Kakashi or the other ninja, and he didn't throw his kunai to them. I'm of course ignoring what happened in the video game since those are non canon.

Regardless of whether or not he wanted to use another sharingan or not, Tobi still had Izanagi as a backup plan against Konan. VS Minato he was just being reckless.

I don't see chaining Minato as a valid strategy, because it's not really that useful and was more of detriment in his battle with Minato. After using the chain strategy Minato was able to figure out Kamui.

Kakashi had Minato's marked kunai as a birthday present.
