Would a mediator chuckle under their breath if he or she arrived & the two parties were 4-5 thousand apart?

He might. The important thing to remember is that a mediator cannot make anyone do anything. He can point out the advantages of a settlement to both sides, but he cannot force them to settle.
Once suit it filed there can be at least two options for the insurance company: pass the case along to a litigation adjuster or a defense attorney. Which one of those would take the least amount of time to make contact. Thanks.

False.
Once a suit is filed and served, it goes to a defense attorney. Who handles the claim within the insurance company is a separate matter, but there is still a claim rep on a case once it goes into suit along with a defense attorney. It's not either/or.

Per other websites some large firms have a litigation adjuster who may take a look at the claim and try to settle it before it reaches a defense attorney. Why is that not true when a claim has reached a standoff and the adjuster who has the claim now may not have the authority to try to settle the claim any further. Thus another higher adjuster takes a look.

Yes, works with defense counsel, not instead of. Once a complaint is served, there is a limited time period to respond to it, and it gets sent to counsel to make sure it's answered promptly. The insurance company could try to settle one last time, but that would be a very time limited thing, like one single phone call and if it doesn't settle right then and there, with the plaintiff attorney agreeing to file a voluntary stipulation of dismissal with prejudice, it has to go to defense counsel.

Filed about 3 weeks ago. It's someone's turn to do something. Too bad the documents do not explain to the defendant that they could be liable for any award in excess of the limits such that they might call their agency and inquire as to what their insurance company can do currently to resolve the matter short of a courthouse.

Just like your attorney explained to you that just because you filed suit doesn't automatically mean your case is worth more. You could go all the way through a trial and end up getting less than the current offer.
What is thought to be able to be obtained by deposing a doctor for example, when he or she can prepare for the deposition. By carefully and thoroughly reviewing their notes. And those records were in the hands of the insurance company long before suit was filed. How can a deposition last two hours? What types of questions are asked and surely some of them are trick questions.

Last time I went to arbitration the fee itself was $4k. Three hour session.

I can not imagine a mediation event (if that is different than arbitration) taking longer than one hour. The parties "differences" are too clear and very obvious.
