You bring up a lot of valid points but did Jiraiya show any feats of frog kata? If he could have used it, he would have in his fight against Pain (it is not like he could save it for another day). Jiraiya also have never used the clone technique in order to charge up sage chakra before (probably due to his imperfect use of sage mode).

Jiraiya's sensory perception is currently very vague, and it is unknown if he would be able to be able to sense what technique Itachi is going to use exactly, and the time lapse for that sensory still wouldn't be long enough for Jiraiya to evade Ameterasu.
