This is my take on the cursed seal thing. I think Kakashi said back at the 2nd exam that the cursed seal extracts chakra from the user at a massive level. When Kakashi sealed it, if Sasuke fell to evil goals the seal on the cursed seal would break and the cursed seal would take over. Sasuke was reminded of Itachi which is his goal and will do anything to accomplish as an "avenger" so the seal on it broke. Once that happened the seal extracted chakra from his body to power the chidori but because it used all his chakra he couldn't move anymore.
