I believe Itachi moved around a little with it, though I may be wrong. If Susano'o forms around the user, then there's a pretty high chance that it can move.
Having it rooted to one spot would only make it a defensive wall as he cannot attack his opponents properly (this is only if he doesn't have the Sword of Totsuka). Considering it takes quite a toll on the user, it wouldn't be the wisest jutsu to use if Sasuke wants to end the fight; provided he doesn't have the Sword.

Does Sasuke's Susano'o even have the shield that made it such a superb defense?
No idea. Even without it, it still has good defensive capabilities. Sasuke may have the shield as he stated that his defense was better than Gaara's. On the other hand, that statement could be a testament to Susano'o's defense if he doesn't have the shield; again, could be. He may very well be engaging in hyperbole for all we know.

not too mention you need the whole specific weather and conditions thing.
Gouryuka no jutsu and Amaterasu; he has both to aid him in making the storm conditions.

We have already seen Susano'o's shield can be damaged.
Just the body afaik. We haven't seen the actual shield get broken.
It also takes some serious power and blunt force (I believe) to break them. Gaara's the only one of the four who can deal that kind of damage with one of his crushing moves.
Temari deals cutting damage, while Kankuro, well not too sure if he can break it with his puppets. We haven't really seen what Darui (? - The dark-skinned dude) can do either. I doubt he can deal the amount of blunt force that the Raikage or Gaara can. Afaik, Susano'o's ribs haven't been sliced through.
If Susano'o can move with Sasuke, Gaara would have a hard time covering Susano'o with his sand. He'd also need more sand (though I don't think that is a factor). Meh, Sasuke has a shot of forming Kirin if he plays it right.
