You are right in admitting your inability to "train" a green horse, and that is the first step! Don't be too discouraged, though–it sounds like you're doing the right thing. First off, yes, you can become a great pair. A 5 year old is still young and green, and it sounds like she didn't have the best start with her former owners. As a result, she's playing catch-up now. She's going to have good and bad days, and maybe more bad than good right now.
It sounds like she may not be the horse for you at the moment. You could keep her and continue as you are, trying to do things on your own, but you're taking a safety risk (since you admit you don't have the experience for her) and you also risk losing your confidence and your enjoyment of riding. I see two smart options here: One, you sell her to someone who suits her better at this point in her life, and you buy a horse you actually enjoy and look forward to riding. Two, you find a good trainer (whether you have to haul to them or move barns altogether) to help you with her at least until she gets past this point of her training and you're more confident with her. Mustangs can be great horses, but all young horses–QH, TBs, Arabians, Shetland ponies, etc.–have bad days (as do old horses, for that matter). Young horses are frustrating at times and there are days when you wonder why you ride in the first place
. My six year old QH–a nicely bred show horse, so this proves that it's not just mustangs–had moments where I wondered if we'd ever live up to his breeding (or early training) and make it anywhere. It's just been the last couple of months that he's really turned into something nice, and we've been working on it awhile. Some horses take longer than others. A good trainer will go a long way and be worth every penny you put into her. If you really like this horse, don't be discouraged–take that money and invest it in a trainer who can show you what a nice horse you have. You have every right to want a horse that gives you a good ride, and this horse may be just the one to do it–you may just need to pay someone to help you get there first.
