I think you have to take his development and makeover into consideration before judging his tactics. In my eyes, his fighting style and most of all his behaviour has changed drastically. He actually seems to have realized that he's on his own (and can't beg for Kyuubi's help all the time because he suffers damage when he does so) and that he's up against strong opponents. He never measured his opponents' strength before and until the battle at the bridge /vs. Orochimaru, he never asked if there were any downsides to the use of the Kyuubi.

I think Jiraiya summoned the toads on purpose. In order to let them touch him and get rid of genjutsu that is. Of course there were other reasons, too.

Yes, she told Naruto that she taught Minato a lot of sealing techniques and I guess Hiraishin is a sealing technique because Minato needed to apply a seal on a Kunai and even at home he used the Kunai. He used them at all his spawn points, so I think he wasn't quite able to figure out something else. He did it that way and only that way. There was no need to do it another way because it worked nevertheless.
