What orochimaru did was use his evil presence to instill fear in sasukes heart causing him to not be able to move Sasuke and oro both admitted to this. oro later used a ninjutsu on sasuke that stops him from moving so that oro can immpalt the curse mark.
genjutsu is the illusion that makes the enemy lose contact with his senses. Sasuke was fully aware of his surroundings. he then stabbed himself in order to break free from his fear.

Yes, provided they 'kill' the victim. Sasuke states what happened and Orochimaru confirms it.
It isn't even a jutsu in the first place and hasn't been labelled as such in any of the data-books iirc. So please enlighten me on how it can be classified as genjutsu.
Sasuke....much as I like Naruto and as strong as he has come, mangekyou seems too much. Amaterasu is near unavoidable and still there is the tsukuyomi. He could maybe dodge amaterasu but we've never seen Naruto break a genjutsu. Then of course the Susanoo which just became complete( through hatred?) Rasenshuriken is strong but I don't see it being hard to dodge.
