Do you really think itachi just walking around within someone's subconscious would let him escape the seal if nobody actually broke it? Also, why is he not desperate enough to use an unconventional method if his only other option according to you is one that kills himself too?
 * The cage in Naruto's subconscious has the mark seal on it, which represents what the actual seal would look in internally.
 * Why do you think the seal cages the nine tails and not let him run wild?
 * Those seem unlikely to happen and to be used, but anyways sure.

The ability to seal him would just be an extra bonus. I lean more towards the seal working on itachi but there's no reason to argue about it if you agree that at the very least minato still has the senjutsu method of defeating itachi.

Itachi has exploding shadow clones to divert Minato away from gathering natural energy (you have to stay still as well making you vulnerable giving Itachi the flow of the battle). As well as this, Minato doesn't have much experience in senjutsu. Amaterasu could also coat the landscape of battle (like the Itachi vs Sasuke battle) giving Itachi field control.
