No it wouldn't. Itachi can see the swamp before it forms because of the sharingan and he can also see jiraiya's hand signs beforehand. Thats the basic ability of the sharingan. And you are also forgetting that itachi can leave his susanoo at any time. So if its caught in the swamp he can just deform susanoo and then reform it. And no he cant, itachi can just place the yata mirror above him, susanoo has movable limbs. And the yata mirror can change any of its properties so an overhead attack isnt working. Toad chant requires himn to be in sage mode which means for a whole chapter of his fight he has to keep his hands clasped and thus cant do jutsu. The summons can be put under genjustu by itachi and be used to fight jiraiya, and the really big summons will have a hard time avoiding amaterasu as well as totsuka blade which can pierce through them and hit jiriaya.
