Thanks for the interesting and helpful reply.
Am I understanding this correctly that the 5 MP at the cropped size of the sensor yields the same resolution as 12 MP using the full size of the sensor. hence the same resolution?
That's correct. It's as if you took the full 12MP FF image and then cut out a smaller box inside it - that's your crop.
That said, if you hadn't accidentally used the crop mode then you likely would have shot this scene with a longer focal length (to achieve the same framing/FOV), which means the same image would be 12MP instead of 5MP, with a commensurate increase in resolution/quality.
