The UV5R only supports FM and NFM, so this is appropriate behavior from Chirp.
I'm going to let someone else answer the other question.

Tyler,
As Tom pointed out, FM and NFM are the only Mode choices that would be appropriate for the UV-5R. FM corresponds to menu 5 (WN) being set to WIDE (wide bandwidth) and NFM corresponds to menu 5 (WN) being set to NARR (narrow bandwidth).
The miklor.com website has a CHIRP "examples" page which has VHF repeater example and a UHF repeater example.
