if we are going by sheer hype without factual evidence, yes. Definitely.
But that's most likely not the case. Itachi knew full well of Pain's Akatsuki's plans and was face to face with the Gedo Mazo but never attempted sealing it away even though it would have saved the lives of tens of thousands of Shinobi, which I imagine he would certainly have done considering Itachi's ability to think on the greater good of things.

A true hero.
Those were the collateral damage to protect Konoha.

That might mean there are some unmentioned factors we have not taken into consideration regarding Totsuka.
Yeah... the moment he did that there would be no story and no income for Kishimoto.
Yes, easily. Given how long it lasted against Obito/Madara (in seconds, Single Digits), the Juubi is not a fighter and can be easily beaten by sealing techs.
