the sentence #3 is correct because when expressing hope not related to one's self, only that- clause may be used, the use of "that" is optional, e.g. Jack hopes that Jane will pass the exam.
sentence #5 should be "i hope you will get the job if you do that."
"Had better" is an idiom, it should be followed by a simple verb form, thus you have to say:you had better get the job.
