AFAIK Fith Amendment only protects against self-incrimination, you absolutely can be subpoenaed to testify against someone else and failing to produce truthful testimony is a crime.

You are correct, which is why that compulsion will be accompanied by immunity.

OK, but then you're testifying under oath

If you have an immunity deal and are asked to testify about a crime you committed under it, you admit to doing it and they can't prosecute you.
