In the Pain saga, after(SPOILER) Kakashi dies and meets his father they were able to move freely, I'm guessing Minato was able to practice it there.

As for the beast mode thing, in the Naruto Wiki site, it says : "Since then he has been able to earn Kurama's cooperation, but the Tailed Beast Mode he enters, though accurate in size, is unique as he does not as closely resemble the beast as the other jinchūriki do their own."
