Yes it is obvious Madara is Tobi, but for Angelic: He actually battled the 1st Hokage, didn't he? When he lost he fled to Kirigakure, this would have been around the time all the Bloodline clans where getting killed, why? perhaps so Madara could find someone stronger to possess? It is also obvious he wanted to start a war with Konoha to retake it.
Amateratsu: Is it not also obvious Pein is working for Madara? and, if he is not, he is scared of him. He wouldn't disobey a direct order from Madara (Tobi.) So it is obvious he did what he was told.
The Third Hokage ordered the destruction of the Uchiha Clan because they possessed the ability to control the Kyuubi, and could unleash it once again. Itachi was in the Anbu, so who better than him? But he didn't want to kill his brother, he knew he needed Mangekyou to destroy the clan, and even with it he couldn't destroy the whole clan, the reason why he killed "Shunshin" and asked for Madara's help. And because he wanted Sasuke to be left alone, so he gained the Mangekyou to give it to Sasuke, to protect him from Madara, Itachi had it planned from the start. :/
