They are a 50/50 linen/silk blend and I absolutely love them, but alas, I cannot find them anywhere online. Are there alternative brands that offer a linen/silk blend and 5" or smaller inseam?

Any tailor who does MTM or bespoke should easily be able to recreate those.

These are a 6" inseam, which is what your shorts are labeled. They are linen/ hemp, not linen/ silk, but feel of the fabric is going to depend on many other things, aside from fiber composition. I also don't know how those Polo shorts are cut. These are a bit loose and baggy compared to "mainstream" shorts nowadays, which are like cut more like slim chinos. But I think they look good. I have these plus the same model in brown.

FWIW, I'm a size 30 in the waist. The size chart says I could go for a small or medium, but I think small was the way to go. Medium would prob be too baggy.
