No. 500 mAh typicallywould refer to the capacity of a battery that can provide 500 milliamps (1/2 amp) to a load for a period of 1 hr. 5 A is 5 amps which is equivalent to 5000 mA. It is just a rating of current flow at a point in a circuit at an instant of time.

No. mA (milliamperes) are the measure of current flow; watts are the measure of power, which is the product of current flow times voltage.

No.
5A = 5000mA
500mA = 0.5A
