Itachi has never had killing intent in the manga against most of his opponents, and the few times we did see him have intent he used susano'o and Totsuka rather immediately. This is a versus battle uninfluenced by plot and his opponents are immortal so..., not reason to believe he wouldn't use Totsuka rather immediately. I do appreciate that you are at trying to look at the fight reasonably and considering the feats and abilities of both characters.

However, Itachi's genjutsu and speed are too much for them to handle. With just 30 percent of his chakra available, Itachi was able to completely pin down naruto. While it's true naruto didn't have the best chakra control at that point in the manga, he still has UZUMAKI levels of chakra flowing through his brain. Even after he tried to forcibly break it, Itachi still completely controlled all of his chakra. 100 percent Itachi would be able to make his genjutsu more potent by adding more chakra to it. Secondly, you still have to be AWARE of the genjutsu to break it. Killer Bee was caught in a very subtle genjutsu against Itachi. HE released his tentacle underground for real because we see it even after Gyuki broke him out. Itachi could have killed him at any time, because Gyuki wasn't even aware of the genjutsu while Killer Bee took several physical actions in the real world. Itachi's genjutsu does not require eye contact, and he still continues to attack you while you are trapped in genjutsu.

I looked over your scenario but I don't have time at the moment to critically analyze it, but I will do so later.
