The following link provides the best information for you:

http://o1epay.com/

The purpose of this website is to provide information on determining qualification for O1E pay for officers who were prior enlisted in the Reserves who believe that they have been wrongfully denied O1E pay.

O1-E pay applies to active duty years. If your five years of service were in the USAR or NG, you do not qualify for it.

Only if you have 4 years of Federal Active Service.

What you will have is a leg up on your peers as you will max out O1 pay, O2 pay when you make it and have a big jump at all future promotions because of your extra time.

No. The O_e pay scales require active duty enlisted time. You will get paid as an O1 with 5 years, then an O2 with 7, though. I commissioned under exactly the same circumstances.
