In some places, Airalo does offer 5G. In some, no. But the Yesim website doesn't tell me what I'm getting, so maybe it's 5G, maybe it's LTE, who knows.
there are certain providers that are good in particular regions (while bad at others). hence sites like esimdb.com help, plus word of mouth here

Phones that support multiple eSIMs generally do allow you to activate the eSIM and then receive messages on both active eSims.
no
only iPhone 13 or newer have dual eSIm feature*
on android side:
only samsung S24 or newer*
only pixel 7 or later AND carrier allows (this plus the backup calling fiasco, sigh)
*except phones that dont have esim i.e. china models
othermodels with esim, generally support esim + physical sim together (but not dual esim)#
# except surface duo and pixel 2/2xl - they have esim + physical, but can only use one at a time
