Not really. Zetsu referred to "before" the battle started so, however he was injured, it happened before he fought Sasuke.

It can be interpreted in other ways though, not just the one you feel ideally suits it best, in your own opinion.

You can't interpret it much differently. No matter what you say, when it comes down to it, Itachi wasn't able to fight near his best. I dont see why you don't want to accept this.

Tsukuyomi is used to break down one's spirit, to mentally collapse the victim. Obviously he couldn't have taken his eyes in the illusion, but it would've left Sasuke more vulnerable afterwards. He kept Sasuke alive hoping he would follow what he said and obtain the Mangekyou, but it didn't work out as planned.

Most likely. I guess he meant to knock him unconcious and then place in the Mangekyou techniques himself, as Sasuke didn't get them on his own.

If you always see things through that viewpoint... prepare to be more disappointed, than if you didn't keep an open mind. There doesn't always have to be some intricate meaning behind something, sometimes it just means what it means. I swear Niku is a common enthusiast of that viewpoint as well... but obviously it doesn't always turn out the way he thinks it will either.

I'm not really being close minded. Think about it. Zetsu's statement has not been disproved or contested in anyway. There's no intricate meaning to it. It's one simple fact. "Itachi was injured before the battle." There's no reason to question this fact at all.
