This article might be helpful in converting from MQL4 to MQL5:
https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/81Also, looking at some examples of indicators converted from MT4 to MT5 might help.

As for the expert advisor, it is often much easier to load an indicator into an EA via iCustom() than to convert an indicator into an EA. There are existing "universal" EAs available that let you load almost any indicator and use its trading signals.

Look up the built-in help on the iCustom funciton.

That depends on lots of factors. It can be quite easy (if you know how to code) or rather difficult.
