Madara withstood a Sage Art: Lava Release Rasenshuriken and only his clothing and chakra cloak seemed to be damaged in the scan (Naruto Chapter 673, Page5). You can clearly see his skin underneath the cut chakra cloak, with scuff marks but that's it. If he was damaged and had regenerated, he wouldn't have scuff marks on his skin, but entirely new, undamaged flesh. The smeared blood around his mouth was from him being kicked by Guy's Night Guy. Madara is lying on the ground, with wood chucks surrounding him, but otherwise unfazed, then he proceeds to get right back up and absorb the top part of the currently falling Shinju. He tanked the technique, but was unable to get out of the way when it initially hit him.

Also, he didn't survive by "absorbing the tree" he never even stated he was near death or might die after the attack, unlike when Guy attacked him. So no, Madara completely survived the attack and didn't need the tree, but the tree called out to him so he absorbed it.

Madara was raised in times of war, so his Taijutsu skills should easily be able to match adult Naruto's. This will be extremely difficult for Naruto, but I still don't see him winning in any iteration. If Madara drags out the fight, he could very well just tired out Naruto then finishing him off, seeing as Madara likes to have fun.
