Answer 1

This website will give you the compounded returns and average returns for the stock market between any set period of years, and also allow for taxes and inflation if you wish

In this case, as in merely buying the "stock market" the dollar amount invested is immaterial without being more specific, and is rather computed in terms of percentage returns. In this case, you would have bought the SPYder ETF's.

Answer 2

It depends on what stocks and mutual funds you invested that
$5000 in. Different stocks appreciate or deappreciate at different rates so there is no guaranteed precentage that a set amount of money will accumulate.
