I'm not sure an ELI5 answer to this set of questions is possible. Even just "what is it" is challenging with something so counter-intuitive. While I'm interested in seeing someone try, it's well outside my abilities to even attempt.
Agreed, claiming to understand quantum theory is an excellent example of the Dunning-Kruger effect (which, in itself is kind of dubious in certain situations). Took my shot. Maybe someone will invoke Cunningham's Law and make my attempt better. ;-)
