Your answers are essentially correct.
I would analyse 4. as two simple clauses linked by a semi-colon.
5. is simple. It's just one clause with Ives as subject, and a coordination of two verb phrases (bracketed) serving as predicate:
Ives [had broader interests] and [generally favored country scenes].
