Answer 1

Selecting arbitrarily ordered rows before and after a specific id

SET @j = 0;
SET @i = 0;
SELECT *
FROM ( 
    SELECT id, col1, col2, ..., @j:=@j+1 AS pos
    FROM `table`
    WHERE  col1=... ORDER BY col1 DESC, col2 ASC
) AS zz
WHERE (    
    SELECT position
    FROM ( 
        SELECT id AS id2, @i:=@i+1 AS position
        FROM `table`
        WHERE  col1=... ORDER BY col1 DESC, col2 ASC
    ) AS zz
    WHERE id2=$currId
)
IN (pos-5,pos-4,pos-3,pos-2,pos-1,pos,pos+1,pos+2,pos+3,pos+4,pos+5)
