Head over to the FFR Batch Forum for all the details on how you can get your file into the game. The Artist Permissions forum section will help you find out if FFR has permission to use the song your file goes with.
sm5 uses .sm files, not .dwi files. The only issue: If you use anything in your file that only works in sm5 (ie separate bpms for each chart, warps, fake notes, lift notes), it only shows up on the .ssc file.
I always start my files with a basic .dwi file which I create in notepad with the song information, just so it would show up in the editor. After that, I do everything in the SM editor. SM should then save everything I do in the editor to the .ssc and .sm files.
I haven't used it myself, but I've only heard bad things. the two tools most people use are sm3.9 and a separate program called DDReam Studio. there should be a thread or two detailing that program in this forum. anywho, the 3.9 editor should be a familiar friend

F7/F8 is all I know of. remember that you can hold tab to greatly speed up the process or hold alt to make pinpoint adjustments. alternatively, you could make the changes manually using the text editor of your choice.

Hey man. I just want to thank you for getting me into metal. That's right, your Emerald Sword file did the trick, I was hooked on Rhapsody after that. You also really influenced my stepping style (sixteenth note runs going to double-bass drums, constantly).
If you haven't checked out the new Luca Turilli's Rhapsody (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFqOkq8ta8U), you should. It's not quite as good as old-school Rhapsody, but it's still pretty dang good.
