Extending your hitch a few inches is going to make virtually no difference to how your trailer responds while backing up. A fifth wheel trailer is less responsive than a tag trailer but the fifth wheel hitch is right over the rear axle where as a tag is about 4 feet back. Whether your ball is 4 feet back of the rear axle or 5 feet back will not change backing uo much at all. It will, however, put a lot more stress on your hitch. You just need to practice backing up your trailer. Some people can back a trailer up at 20 mph.
No, but it will prevent the trailer from hitting the TV at extreme angles.
