I cannot tell you without knowing more. I assume if you are in a green card status for 5 years, then yes.

No. Depending upon all of the circumstances, however, you may be eligible to apply for naturalization. It would be wise to work with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information about you and your immigration-history could advise you about eligibilities, options and strategies. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.

Simply being physically present does not confer U.S. citizenship. You first need to apply for permanent residence and that will lead to citizenship. Please consult with an attorney as to your eligibility.
