If you use "in" as in "under", like I can run a mile in 5 minutes. Would you use dum malpli tempo ol 5 minutoj?
And also what about if you run a mile in exactly 5 minutes, not less than. Like I ran a mile in 5 minutes meaning that was the time you finished the mile. Would you use just dum?

It seems to me that 'en' with periods of time means within. En ses monatoj vi forgesos nin.
En la vintro ni ne manĝas salatojn.
But sometimes we can use it to say how long something took. For example Dio kreis la mondon en sep tagoj.
If it's important to make it clear that the mile was run in exactly 5 minutes, then li kuris la mejlon en 5 minutoj precize.
Dum has the meaning of during or for. Dum sep tagoj li laboris kaj tiam li ripozis.

If I see a note on a door 'back in 5 mins', I assume the writer's intention is to say that he will only be away for 5 minutes.
In practice he may be away for a shorter or a longer time. If he returns early I don't think the note false
'revenos post 5 minutoj' seems a perfectly acceptable translation of such a note.
Whilst 20 minutes later is technically post 5 minutoj, such a late return would seem to contradict his note.
