I'd say its more likely he acted the way he did, in order to make Sasuke want to become stronger than himself at any cost, simply because he knew he couldn't beat Madara himself.that would make a lot of sense with Itachi gauging Sasuke's potential and why he left him alive, he wants the stronger person to take out Madara so in either scenario Itachi wins.
As for the wounds, your reason is the most likely but I think there was a fight as well before Sasuke's Showdown.
