Yes for # 5.
x^2 is times squared; delete d; and you get TIMES SQUARE
No for # 3.

Update with hints. Definitions bolded.
1. Inspecting shot over arguments . ( 8 )
hint1: word-in-word
2. Snap at dozing in chair, snoring. (4)
hint1: homophone
hint2: the "in chair" part is gratutious; the "dozing" need not be necessarily in a chair. No need to take that into account.
