The key thing about these recipes, which will let you meet requirements [2] and [3], is that they wrap the components of the posted comments in >>div<< blocks. This makes it a straightforward task to read the news page, explode the contents into a structured array of news items, and display the first 5 as a list of headers and dates. The most flexible solution is probably CommentBoxPlus; and CommentBox would work too but has fewerfeatures.
