I wouldn't mind going landside at T3 and then going airside afresh (since I'd probably connect landside even if I was heading straight to T5).
My instinct is that I probably have to go to T5 (especially since I'm connecting to a CTA flight) but thought I'd check anyway...
This is not physically possible, IMO. When you clear security for connections, you take an escalator down for the buses to other terminals.
