I am a US citizen and will have 5hrs between my flights in Paris - can I go and see Eiffel Tower?
Answer :
No visa is needed to visit France (and most if not all of the EU) on vacation for less than 90 days. OTOH, 5 hours is not enough time to get to the city and back. Enjoy the authentic French food and duty free shopping in Charles de Gaulle. Great decor and a nice place to people watch and to speak French.
Answer :
There is a visa waiver for US citizens to enter the Schengen zone.
Here you have it explained from the official authorities:

However, in any case, five hours betwen arrival and departure is insufficient. The airport is in the countryside outside Paris. There are long queues to go through immigration control and you are supposed to be in the airport two hours before your next flight takes off.
If you attempt it in so short a time gap, you are in great danger of missing your next flight, especially if your plane from the US is delayed at take off or has to queue in a stack to land on arrival.
Answer :
You do not need a visa to leave CdG, however five hours is nowhere near enough time to see the Eiffel Tower.
