This is one of the (potential) Chicago benefits. There are 3 hubs (AA/UA at ORD, WN at MDW). Even DL has flights to a handful of host cities.

Flight 431 ORD-FRA yesterday (25 October) was diverted to BOS after turning around over Newfoundland. Seems a bit strange to go all the way back to BOS if it was something urgent. Is there anywhere...

For Terminal 5 to Terminal 3 -- Yes. Use the ATS. It's faster than the bus and security at Terminal 3 is generally a much better experience than Terminal 5.
