Yes, your bags can be checked through.
2) I assume, if they transfer the luggage for us, we don’t have to go to the check-in desk at terminal 5?
You stay airside. No need to re-clear security at LHR as it's a Domestic feeder so you'll march straight off your EDI flight and after a quick scan of your LHR-FCO BP, head straight for the gate - via the lounge if you are thirsty...
3) Can you actually get between the two terminals and through security in 70min or less? I’m a BA Silver card holder so I can use the fast track security line.
BA1461 lands at T5
BA546 leaves from T5
You won't need to change terminals.
It's a legal connection otherwise BA wouldn't sell it (T5-T5 MCT is 60 mins) so it should be fine.
