This is assuming he's placed his markers outside the barrier. I think the OP means Minato is basically restricted to the constraints of the barrier Minato has markers in a few places in Konoha

I think you underestimate Orochimaru's hydra technique simply because it got one shotted by Itachi. According to the Shippuden Ultimate ninja 2 game- the hydra technique is capable of attacks comparable in energy to a bijuu dama. If it does come to that, assuming the barrier holds- minato simply cannot escape a high intensity blast like that. Not to mention his hydra form can regenerate. That is a game. We are shown no such power in the canon. Minato can deal with full Kurama's Bijuu dama soooooo he will be fine with just about whatever Hydra-Orochimaru spits out

I don't think the Orochimaru that fled the leaf had the hydra technique yet. By Orochimaru's admission Hiruzen would defeat him if Hiruzen was 10 years younger. If Hiruzen in his late 50's could do it then Minato would absolutely demolish Orochimaru.
