With this knowledge, he should be able to predict when Dio actives time stop regardless of how long he takes during it, and then erase the time in which the time stop would happen. Or so I believe. No, remember that while seeing 10 seconds into the future there are no seconds. This is because DIO would have stopped time already. The vision would be himself dead instantly, just like any normal person would see of The World (minus Jotaro of course!). But when DIO stops time, Diavolo activates Time Erase for 10 seconds, and if we assume that DIO's Time Stop is 9 seconds, it means that the time he skipped is stopped time. So Diavolo can stop DIO's Time Stop.

DIO's time stop exists outside of linear time. Technically, it doesn't last any seconds cause, you know, time is stopped. It's just DIO's perception of 9 seconds, not 9 actual seconds. That wouldn't make any sense.

diavolo can avoid actions in time stop by straight up distancing himself

Lets say the fight stars like this DIO would stop time and donut Diavolo. Im not even gonna get into how diavolo would perceive time stop in his predictions.Diavolo sees himself dead in his vision but not knowing what even caused it Diavolo would absolutely activate time erase and move away from him Id say when their abilities overlap Diavolo would maybe get frozen in time but still be intangible
