Answer to 5

I don't think that Holden wants to save little kids from falling off the cliff just to gain fame and become the 'life savior'. He wants to be the catcher in the rye because he wants warn teens that has yet to seen the adult life about the difficulties and struggles one can face if he/she does not accept the reality. Holden has experienced the problems he faced during the transition.
