The techniques the 3rd and 4th used were the same.

Never is it stated that the victim will be consumed by the Death God, only the user. Nor is it ever said that the Victim must be bound into the body of the user. Basically, at the cost of ones life, one can have the Death God seal a target soul into a target body.

With this in mind, its simple to put it together. The 4th gave his life to have the Death God seal Kyuubi's soul to save Konoha, he seals it inside Naruto with the hopes that Naruto will become strong with the help of Kyuubi (or for some other reason, the ends justify the means).

In the case of the 3rd, he simply wants to Kill Orochimaru to make up for not killing him in the past. When the 3rd uses the technique he knows he will die, and since he wants Orochimaru to also die, he attempts to seal Orochimaru inside his own body, which will then be consumed by the Death God.

We know the 3rd believes that if he dies with Orochimaru's soul bound within him, Orochimaru will also die. So I believe is also safe to say that if Naruto dies with Kyuubi's soul bound within him, Kyuubi will die as well.
