1)Because Ichigo had never seen Aizen's Zanpakutou the moment he released it.
2)That's obviously because it's playing into his real plan, which we'll never get to see because the manga is over. :evil2:
Couldn't he just release it again? Or was releasing aizen's zanpakutou a one time thing?
IIRC, Aizen had gathered all the captains and their vices together in one area to show them the Shikai. I would imagine that it's not something he can just flash off at a moment's notice -- likely, he can only affect/control one group of people at a time. To put Ichigo under its spell, he would have to undo the effect on everyone else first, but that means they'll no longer be under Aizen's control until he reacquires them with the release.
I don't doubt that everyone in Seireitei had seen his release - otherwise, it wouldn't take Unohana to realize that he faked his death. No, he probably showed people his Shikai in settings like the Shin'no Academy, repeatedly. It's just that the captains remembered what affected them, first. (Mass blind person disappearances, anyone?)
tl;dr: I seriously doubt Aizen has such a limitation. The limitation might be about
closing their eyes, which would explain why Aizen didn't even bother with the human characters.
Why? Because it's Aizen? Granted, I'm hard-pressed to think of a Baikai power better than Kyoka Suigetsu (well, not unless I delve into Vampire: The Masquerade and Chimestry), but effectively it's not really outside the scope of reason for it to have such a limitation; after all, it's only Stage 1 of its power, and, thus, not nearly as powerful as it could be until it reaches Stage 2. Showing it off to people repeatedly isn't something I could buy, if for no other reason that, once the nature of his shikai has been revealed, it wouldn't be hard to connect the dots if he's popping it on the same folks every few seconds, and the last thing Aizen wants to do is to draw attention to himself.
And, um, yeah, Kyoka Suigetsu doesn't work on people who don't see its release, hence why he got Kaname Tousen on his side since he's blind.
