If you have to use only the past five years, there are only a handfull that even played the position consistently. Damon, Jones, and Williams come to mind. But if you expand the search a few years, Griffey would come into the equation too. Probably there are others, but none come to mind.
Maybe it's not right, but I rarely think of OF in their specific position, but compare across all the OF positions since they are pretty interchangeable. You see a lot of players these days who play more than one of them.

2) Was he the best offensive player at that position over those 5-6 years?

People are way too dismissive of Edmonds and what he has done.
