This may seem to be an ignorant question but there are so many of these on the market but will this element work for both the upper AND lower heating?

I don't know about your particular water heater, but it worked for upper and lower in mine.

What is the length of this element, and will it fit in a pot or brew kettle of 13.5" diameter? Thanks.

The element will fit in a 13.5 diameter pot. The element is 10.75 inchs.

Can I use 4500w in heater requiring 5000w

Yes, you can use this as a replacement. It may take your unit longer to heat up due to the difference, but it should not cause any other issues.

My ecosmart 18 uses 9000 watt elements. this camco is 4500 watts, will it work?

Hello. Thank you for the message. NO, we do not recommend replacing a 9000 watt element with a 4500 watt element.
