I believe that for every new over, the bowler can decide which end to bowl from.

The bowlers must alternate ends after each over. So for the last ball of the over it's the opposite. Odd number of runs and the batter bats again, even number of runs the other batter will face.
You will often see a batter get a single off the last ball to "retain strike".

As for 5-day matches, I treat it like one big 5 or 7 game series.
Imagine if the Flames played a 5 game series and it was total goals instead of wins and once a team got to 15 goals, the series ended.
