Yes. It will however take a very long time to charge, and if being used while charging, may not actually charge and even loose charge, but no damage will come to the iPhone by using a 5 watt charger if that is really what you want to do.

No, using a higher power source will not damage the battery, because the charger in the phone regulates the energy to the battery. See→Fast charge your iPhone - Apple Support


Specifically:


Fast charging works when you use an Apple USB-C to Lightning cable and one of these adapters:

  • Apple 18W, 20W, 29W, 30W, 61W, 87W, or 96W USB-C Power Adapter
  • A comparable third-party USB-C power adapter that supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD)
