5 X 5 and 5 X 5 on both squats and deadlifts with maximal intensity would be hard on your CNS, it'd also generally cheat one more than the other. Your squats really tax your legs and back, deadlifting afterwards would result in a quicker plateau and much slower progress with the deadlift. I always recommend if you're going to do 5 X 5 or 3 X 5 with squats, then do 1 X 5 on deadlifts- That way you don't hit your CNS too hard and can make good progress on deadlifts without plateauing so fast nor neglecting the movement.

No, 1 X 5 = one set of five reps, sacrificing the volume in order to continuously increase intensity. Same principles are applied to starting strength, which advocates a constant progress (meaning as much as possible) so Rippetoe reduced the volume to allow more intensity increments.
