The availability of the update information is dependent on the 3rd party developer providing it in their extension. (I think the update checks the extension's XML file for compatibility information. If it doesn't find it, it reports back as "Unknown".
I would suggest running an update check from Extension Manager - I expect many of your listed extensions will run on J5 either natively or with the J5 compatibility plugin - but it's up to you to check if the Pre-update check doesn't return a satisfactory answer.
A few examples from your list:
OSMap requires the J5 Compatibility Plugin (in J4): https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/osmap/ (I would think that would be the same for all the related OSMap plugins you listed). (shows the J5 Compatibility Plugin tag)
MaxiMenu CK works with J5 https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/maxi-menu-ck/ (shows the J5 tag on JED listing (view the details page of that extension)
Engage Box https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/engage-box/ works on J5 (shows J5 tag on JED listing. View the details page of that extension).
JW Player https://extensions.joomla.org/extension ... -advanced/ works on J5 (shows J5 tag on JED, view the details page of that extension)
So it's a matter of manually checking the JED if Extensions Update doesn't find updated versions. Check your installed version against the available version. Update if required.
For templates, since they are not on the JED, go to the vendor's website to check for an update. But general advice is switch to Cassiopeia for the migration then reinstall the template you're using.
