Is a 5 mm Figaro chain too thick for everyday wear?

No. At 5 mm it is a middle weight: noticeable but not chunky. It works daily and still layers under a collar.

Can I wear this chain in the shower or at the gym?

Stainless steel handles water and sweat far better than plated metals, so occasional exposure is fine. Rinse and dry it to keep the shine.

No, it is the chain only. The Figaro pattern is designed to stand alone or hold a pendant you add.

Any polished metal picks up fine scratches with wear. Stainless steel is harder than plated brass, so it holds its finish longer.

Yes, the design is unisex. The 5 mm width sits between delicate and heavy, so it suits most wearers.
