Are you moving the betta from the 5 to the 10?
I would assume it should be ok as it is one fish and I assume you would keep up with general water changes. Second opinion?

Only issue is the filter might not actually fit on the 10 gallon...

No it would be for a new betta. It’s a canister suction cup filter so you just stick it on.

Yes it will be
I think you'll be ok then. Some floating plants or anacharis would be good at helping remove ammonia
Fast growing stem plants in particular, such as anacharis, hornwort.. consume ammonia (and nitrates, but they prefer ammonia), and so actually reduce the amount of nitrates, seeing as the bacteria will have less ammonia to convert to nitrite>nitrate
Yes, the filter will be OK.
I have a filter “made for” a 10g tank, in my 29g tank. Works perfectly. Some manufacturers over size their filters just to be safe.
I actually have a filter “made for” a 2.5g tank, in my 10g betta tank.

How about Marina Power filter? Does it a good filter for 10 gal tank?
Perhaps augment the topfin filter with a small sponge filter working off a small air pump. Betta don’t like too much flow.
