What's often inferred is that the statement "tomorrow you will be hokage" was referring to tomorrow as the future or 'next' era, e.g., "tomorrow's generation."

(I took this from what I remember of the episode; I had to reference it another time for the same argument)
"From (starting) tomorrow" - no doubt about it. There would be a different way to say "Hokage of tomorrow" or "next Hokage".
Yes, it is an inconsisteny. Wouldn't be the first time, and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last.
Not sure where this point fits into the argument, but I would think that Jiraiya/Tsunade compensate for their loss of muscle by reinforcing them with chakra. It's already fairly commonplace, as we see Sasuke channel chakra into his legs to leap away from Haku's ice needles, crazy jumps, Rock Lee taking hits from Gaara's sand that would kill a regular human being, etc. etc.
