I personally don't see how danger perception helps you counter an attack you dont see coming. When jiraiya got surprise attacked by pain, where was the danger sensing then? When it comes to come genjustu, you should under stand that I'm well aware that jiraiya isn't gonna be intentionally looking at itachi's eyes, but if itachi tricks him or forces him to, then he will be caught. Jiraiya has never had a serious battle with a sharingan or genjustu user, and all I'm gonna say is that itachi has a nasty habit of catching people from the start. Even sasuke, when he started using genjustu in part 2 was catching people left and right, and I find it hard to believe that all these occurrences were purely plot devices, some of them had to be legit, which means there isnt a 0 percent chance of jiraiya getting caught. Now, I'm still unsure of how jiraiya is creating massive distance from the start, they should be starting at a realistic battle distance. Jiraiya has the edge overall in ninjutsu, but he has the problem of susanoo to contend with. And also, I thought jiraiya wasn't starting off in sage mode.

1) Well, Kabuto was able to use sage danger perception while his eyes were deactivated and even avoid a Susanoo arrow.

2) The reasons I think Jiraiya won't be caught in Itachi's genjutsu are, because Jiraiya encountered Itachi before and knows about his abilities(meaning he should be able to avoid it) and the fact that he can summon multiple toads which, according to Chiyo, would attack Itachi while he is preoccupied by the genjutsu.

3) Jiraiya can start the fight off by throwing a few smoke bombs, using the swamp technique to immobilize Itachi for a while and immediately summon Gamabunta to use a wide area collaborative fire jutsu. Itachi would be forced to use his Susanoo and then the time limit on his stamina and chakra begins, with Jiraiya in control of the beginning stages of the fight.
