Yet it doesnt show signs of acidity, i.e. there is no discoloration of basins or tubs and no corrosion evident anywhere. Can water have a low ph without being acidic ?

A ph of 5. isnt really that extreme. I woulnt expect any corrosion. The slight acidity of you water could be due to dissolved carbon dioxide (this is what gives coca cola a ph of 2.5). Maybe you could read a higher value if you removed the dissolved gas (for instance by heating).

No.
However, it is possible that your tester is sensible to some trace element that makes it give a false reading. Different types of testers are sensible to different trace elements.
