I am working out to lose weight and the trainer has advised me to drink almost 5 liters of water. Can this cause any pressure or damage to my kidneys?
No. It doesn't cause CKD, but it can cause drop in sodium levels if you are drinking a lot, like more than 3 liters.
No, lots of water is great for the kidneys.

No
Usually not
No, but a dangerous dilution of the blood system.
