Q: Erase all content and settings - is this applicable to the specific iPhone or will it affect other devices in my iCloud?

Can I erase all content and settings on my old iPhone 5 without changing anything on my iPhone 6 or iMac?

A:

Yes. Erase all Content and Settings only applies to the device you execute it on.

 

It does not do anything to iCloud or any other attached devices.
