With two I’m affirmative
With three I’m respectful
With four I’m more respectful
With all five I’m either loved or hated
But when I’m loved, I kill; and when I’m hated, I may save lives.
Answer
My guess is
siren
With two I'm affirmative
'si', which is Spanish for "yes".
With three I'm respectful
'sir', a respectful greeting.
With four I'm more respectful
'sire', a respectful title.
With all five I’m either loved or hated
But when I’m loved, I kill; and when I’m hated, I may save lives.
Sirens that were 'loved' led sailors to their deaths. Although they are an annoying noise, their sound means that help is on the way and lives may be saved.
