I'm guessing that's rare, but I've only once attempted submitting without cracking first. I crossed this card from SGC 6 to PSA 5, without cracking it out. Would it have scored higher if I had cracked it out first? Hard to say, but I wasn't willing to take the chance. And with this particular issue, the grade isn't particularly important anyway.

Yes, I've gotten bumps by keeping cards in their holders before. In both directions. It just depends on the card.
Yours might get a 6 from a different grader on a different day. There's a lot of variance, especially with PSA. They're looking at that top left corner and the registration misalignment. That's what is causing the 5. But some PSA graders will call it a 6. Just not as many as will call it a 5.
