It seems like he could choose who will be affected by the genjutsu too.
yh think so too, he directed it at the ones who werent looking at him directly

Sasuke had openly announced what he was going to do before he actually did it. Everyone was put on gaurd and Kurama even tried to attack before he did it.

He announced it when he had already snared the bijū in his genjutsu - which he set up when everyone had their guard down.

If he had already started the genjutsu then Kurama wouldn't have been able to move, just like he couldn't when it actaully caught him.

Indeed, his genjutsu was top tier.

Yes, he would have, the same way he was able to speak to Naruto before being sealed away. The bijū weren't aware they were placed under genjutsu until it was too late, meaning Sasuke set it up when they were distracted.

Once Kurama was caught in the genjustu he was stopped in his tracks, therefore that the reason he could move before was due to not being caught yet.

Kurama still had his normal eyes as well, so he wasn't caught.

Sorry but no. Kurama had his hand ready to attack him.

When are they not?
just like you and your ilk have made every effort to downplay what Naruto has done from the very beginning? I'm not a Naruto fan, but you Sasuke homers have always trotted out Naruto being a jin to explain away everything in almost every argument.

The big difference between Sasuke and Madara subduing the bijū is that the bijū had their guard down around Sasuke whilst Madara outright went at them and one-shotted them with a bijū b-tch slap jutsu.

Both are impressive, but context and circumstance should not be forgotten when comparing the two.
Also in Madara case we should not forget that Kurama and Eight Tails had their Jins (and we know when a beast has a Jin is stronger, so they where more powerful than the ones Sasuke defeated) so Madara didn't just beat the 9 bijuu but also their too the 2 strongest Bijuus Jins!
