Getting the 5 latest posts is just a custom loop for the one cat. Read The Loop.
displaying the featured images you need to use WordPress Post Thumnails. The template tag you are looking at is the_post_thumbnail() and Justin Tadlock wrote a pretty comprehensive post on how to use post thumnails in your theme here:

Had a look at your link and thank you for the time. With help from walter at webdesigndepot i’ve now got:
Still no love tho as i can’t figure out how to implement the php into the post, phpexec and similar plugins don’t seem to work for this, tho simple things like echo’test’; work fine.
// fetching latest posts from specific category
$categoryId = 7;
$args = array('category' => categoryId , 'post_status' => 'publish', 'numberposts' => 5);
$posts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($posts as $post){
$feat_image_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );
$post_url = get_permalink($post->ID);
}
Thanks for the help
After some struggling, debugging like mad i managed to get a working code:
$categoryId = 7;
$args = array('category' => $categoryId , 'post_status' => 'publish', 'numberposts' => 5);
$posters = get_posts( $args );
if ( $posters ) {
foreach ($posters as $post) {
$imgsrc = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), "Full");
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>" title=""><img src="<?php echo $imgsrc[0]; ?>" class="thumbnail" width="130" height="130" alt='' /></a>
<?php }
}
I’ve made it into a shortcode [featuredposts category=7] and calling it lets me add the featured images of the latest 5 posts for a category of my choosing!
Could a moderator please remove the link to the website on the first post.
