I have limited space for installing a ptrap for a new shower and this is my best option. I am a bit worried that it might create a vacuum and suck the ptrap dry. Would this work?

That's an S trap that will siphon.

The vent can be within five feet of the trap, but the vent needs to come from the top, not below.

Thanks for the reply. I have one other option (see new pic), but do not have the space to make a 45 degree bend on the vent, so would have to use two 90 degree elbows to make the connection. Is this a better option?

thats way better and under the right circumstances can be concidered legal. If 45s work even better.
