Why did my two other red eared sliders eat the eyes of my small 4 year old red eared slider?

NO ! Since it would NEVER come across such an unsuitable food in the wild !
Can your 5 inched turtle get stressed out in a gallon tank?
A 5 inch sized turtle is too big for a gallon sized tank. They need more room to swim and the filtration needs more water than that for a turtle that size. I have a 5 inch male red eared slider in a 29 gallon aquarium and I consider that to be the smallest tank I would recommend.
Can red eared sliders be only 17 inches?
A 17-inch red-eared slider would probably hold the Guinness World Record for biggest red-eared slider turtle. A very large adult red-eared slider is a little over a foot long from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, with a shell around 8 to 9 inches long. A more average size (especially for males, which are generally smaller) is around 9 to 10 inches from nose to tail, with a 6 to 7 inch shell.
What species of turtle is best to buy?
the "red eared slider turtle" would be the best one because they can live up to 50 years!
Can you build a cage in your backyard for housing a red eared slider?
They can be housed outside, yes. Just make sure they have everything they would get from an indoor enclosure.
Can a red eared slider turtle die if in the sun too long?
I'm sure it would. But a RES is not dumb. If they get too hot they will go back in the water.
