Thomas just received some music to practice for Kneisel Hall in a month and while he is at school, I am looking it over and for the life of me, I just can't remember a couple things. I ask for your kindness pahlease. 

 

On the first one, what is the "x" over the A? Is is a ghost note or a double sharp?

On this second one, I know that numbers under the notes show fingerings, but what is the "5" about? Obviously we dont have 5 fingers on our left hand.

Well, yes we have (sorry, couldn't resist…!) I have no idea what this 5 is doing there, though.

As for the cross, possibly a double sharp (what is the key signature ?), I have seen that once in a piano sheet (that was a long time ago and I don't remember which one, so I can't check). Maybe you can listen to a recording and see what note is played ?

@wtw I looked everywhere but could not find a thing. It is

Haydn Sonata Op.8, No.2
I. Allegro
 
I was hoping to find a video showing someone playing the violin so I could see his fingerings.

Ok, found it on imslp, thank you. In the file "Cover, title page, preface and index" (download it too), they explain about little crosses above the notes (= appoggiaturas). The only thing is that the cross in the example in the preface (+) is not the same as the one in the sheet (x). But I think that's just an inconsistency in the preface, as I'm not seeing any + signs in the sheet. The example given seems to refer to Violin 1, Sonate 1 - Adagio, 3rd bar.
