No plot wanted Sasuke to win. That's how it works. Plot gets what plot wants

It was a shinobi fight. an external help proves nothing on which one is the stronger.
Summons would be acceptable if it was a "war" fight", and not a fight to determine which is the better shinobi. BUT that wasn't the case, but either way, Naruto was the stronger one at the end. He couldn't kill his "bestfriend".. but instead destroyed the ego his bestfriend had of being ahead of Naruto.

Oro was watching? Speculation.
Zetsu would have interfered? Speculation.
What makes you think Orochimaru was watching? He was sitting in his lair with Kabuto after switching bodies with some random. And what makes you think zetsu would have interfered? He was most likely just collecting data on Naruto and the kyubi
Orochi was watching, he can see inside the curse mark like minato did with the seal for naruto.
Minato put his chakra into the seal...the curse mark is the same way.
Yes, through the curse mark like minato was with naruto's seal.
Zetus not 100% sure but just so you know.
