I have a waist high wall between 2 parallel staircases, that go from
the 1st to 2nd floor. I want to install some type of railing on top of
it. The wall is 5 inches wide.
Is this something that would need to be custom-made? Any ideas out
there?

Almost all stair railing is custom made. There might be
something out there that you could use, but it would have to
be a generic angle that would fit most stairs and may not fit
yours exactly.
I have a question, why do you have 2 staircases side by side?

The stairs go up 6 steps; there is a small landing where you make 2
right turns, then go up 6 more steps.

Believe it or not, some government organizations have detailed building
codes governing residential stair railings including diameter, offset,
height from tread, material, anchoring, finish, load tolerance,
blah-blah-blah.
For example, here's 27,000 words governing stair rails for California.

You do know that those CA laws only apply to places of employment, right?
