How is this different from the Cron Parser tool?

The Cron Parser takes an existing expression and explains it. This generator goes the other direction — you describe the schedule you want using dropdowns and it writes the expression for you.

Are step values (*/5) supported?

Yes — the minute and hour fields include step options such as every 5 minutes, every 10 minutes, every 15 minutes, and every 2 hours.
