* Send auto email after submitting to let user know email has been recieved (requires database??)
Doesn't require any database, just do a second mail() with the message of your choice and directed to the email inputted in the contact form.

* Let a user submit only 5 times a day to reduce spam (database or cookies??)
I would not reccommend cookies, I would use the IP and yes, via a database. Someone more expert at php/mysql will be able to provide you with the full code

* Only click submit once to reduce spam (php please, no silly javascript codes)
That can't be done with PHP, because it doesn't run on the client. You
have to do it with javascript. However if the above point is working, he won't be able to send the e-mail more than 5 times.

* Send it to both me and someone else (simple little code like:
Yeah, almost that
code:
<?php
$headers = "From: Mysite.Com <webmaster@mysite.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: webmaster@mysite.com\r\n";
$send_to = "someone@here.com, someone_else@there.com, another@wherever.com";
mail($send_to, "My Subject", "This is my message", $headers);
?>
