 * I want to use query_posts on single pages to only query the last five posts in
   the category my post is in– so it changes between photos in different categories.
   How do I go about doing this?
 * EDIT: Actually, either that or display five random photos from the category my
   post is in would work too. Any ideas?

 * There is a good random posts plugin which can be restricted to the category you
   are in, this might meet your needs.
