For return, yes, you will check bags at Itami all the way through to your final destination, with 90 minutes enough time to transfer to international departure. Another note. You will only need to arrive at Itami at about an hour or maybe a bit more for check-in. It's a small airport and very efficient. There is a special check-in area for domestic flights that transfer to international in Tokyo with manned check-in counters.
Thank you so much for your reply!! This is a big relief. I've done VJW so hopefully also helps to speed things up a bit when arriving at Haneda.

Just looks like I won't be able to do any duty free shopping at Itami/Haneda given early flight/limited transit time.
