3. Blinds are 1000 - 2000. Preflop UTG throws out one 5000 chip. Is this a raise?

Answer to 1 - 3 is NO. Answer to 4 depends.
1. The one chip rule applies here, even though player already has a small blind in.
2. Since neither chip can stand alone as a call here, it is not a raise even though it meets the rule that it has to be equal to or greater than previous bet.
3. One chip rule applies here, easy one.
4. If 50% rule is in effect (most casinos and some stand alone card rooms) then yes, if not then no and extra chips get returned.
