Crete is a big island (260 km long) and with 5 days only available, you won't be able to see much of it.
If you cannot extend your stay in Crete, then it is better to focus on the part of the island, where your hotel will be. You will have more time to explore, and you won't get tired by endless hours of driving.

Of course not, taking into account the size of the island and all there is to see and do. If you really only have 5 days, do visit Knossos naturally, and then go to Chania (a beautiful Venetian city) and Rethymno. In Chania, do the Samarian Gorges, the longest canyon in Europe (16 km) with an abandoned resistance village (both to Turkish and Germans) in the middle. Anyway, Crete is beautiful and you'll love it, namely the coastline, which must be more beautiful than anything else in the world. You could also go to Vai, a beach in the Eastern shore where there's the biggest natural palm tree grove in Europe.

of course No. Crete is a very big island and the distances between the cities and the beaches and the ancient monuments are pretty long. 5 days are only enough just for one district.
Anyway if you only have 5 days you should visit the district of Chania and Rethymno, they are by far the most beautiful. They have the best beaches and the most beautiful landscape. In chania the best beaches are Elafonisi and Falasarna and in Rethimno preveli is the most picturesque.

It's not ideal, but you can get by with only 5 days in Crete. Just don't try to see the entire island... focus your stay in Heraklion, make a visit to Knossos at some point (if you like historical sites), and try to make a side trip to Agios Nikolaos or Chania (my favorite city on the island). You won't be able to see everything, but you'll still enjoy your stay.
