Core approach
And then used the solution of Trigonometric Equation $\tan(θ)=\tan(β)$…
That sounds like a good approach to me. So what you're saying is that you got to
$$
5\pi\cos\alpha = n\pi+\tfrac\pi2-5\pi\sin\alpha,\quad n\in\mathbb Z
$$
and then solved this for $\alpha$? How exactly?
Tangent half-angle approach
Personally I would use the tangent half-angle formulas to turn this trigonometric equation into a polynomial one:
$$
t:=\tan\frac\alpha2\quad \sin\alpha=\frac{2t}{1+t^2}\quad \cos\alpha=\frac{1-t^2}{1+t^2}\\
5\frac{1-t^2}{1+t^2}=n+\frac12-5\frac{2t}{1+t^2}\\
10-10t^2=2n+2nt^2+1+t^2-20t\\
$$
So what values of $n$ should you be considering? Let'suse the fact that $\sin\alpha\in[-1,1]$ and the same for $\cos\alpha$.
$$5[-1\ldots 1]=n+\tfrac12-5[-1\ldots 1]\\n=5[-1\ldots 1]+5[-1\ldots 1]-\tfrac12$$
So a conservative estimate would be $n\in\{-10,-9,-8,\ldots,7,8,9\}$. Since you can't have both $\sin\alpha$ and $\cos\alpha$ be close to $\pm1$ at the same time, not all of these $n$ will have solutions, but this is good enough for now. Take each $n$ and compute the resulting $t$ (at most two for each $n$). You get $28$ different values.

$$
All of these look like valid solutions to me: they satisfy the initial equation. Since the tangent half-angle formulas can't represent $\alpha=\pi$ (it corresponds to $t=\infty$), we also need to check that this is not a solution. And of course these $\alpha$ are arguments to trigonometric functions, so adding any multiple of $2\pi$ will be a solution, too. The above are all the solutions in the $\alpha\in(-\pi,+\pi]$ range.
Trigonometric identities instead of tangent half-angle formulas
Update: After reading some other answers, and seeing how they avoid the tangent half-angle formulas, I wanted to look up the computation for that using well-established identities. Starting from the equation
\begin{align*}
5\pi\cos\alpha &= n\pi+\tfrac\pi2-5\pi\sin\alpha,\quad n\in\mathbb Z \\
\sin\alpha+\cos\alpha &= \frac{2n+1}{10}
\end{align*}
the sum on the left hand side is the most interesting part. Wikipedia list of trigonometric identities lists your $\tan\left(\tfrac\pi2-\theta\right)=\cot\theta$ under Reflections and also some formulas you can use to tackle that sum.
One approach uses shifts to turn $\cos$ into $\sin$ and product to sum identities in reverse to turn the sum into a product:
\begin{align*}
\cos\alpha &= \sin(\alpha+\tfrac\pi2) \\
\sin(\theta+\varphi)+\sin(\theta-\varphi)&=2\sin\theta\cos\varphi
\qquad\text{with }
\theta:=\alpha+\tfrac\pi4, \quad \varphi:=\tfrac\pi4 \\
\sin\alpha+\cos\alpha = \sin\alpha + \sin(\alpha+\tfrac\pi2) &= 2\sin(\alpha+\tfrac\pi4)\cos\tfrac\pi4 = \sqrt2\sin(\alpha+\tfrac\pi4)
\end{align*}
You might also start from a formula for angle sums:
\begin{align*}
\sin\alpha\cos\beta + \cos\alpha\sin\beta &= \sin(\alpha+\beta) \\
\beta := \tfrac\pi4 \qquad & \cos\beta=\sin\beta=\tfrac1{\sqrt2} \\
\tfrac1{\sqrt2}\left(\sin\alpha+\cos\alpha\right) &= \sin\left(\alpha+\tfrac\pi4\right)
\end{align*}
Either way you get
$$
\sin\alpha+\cos\alpha = \sqrt2\sin(\alpha+\tfrac\pi4) = \frac{2n+1}{10} \\
\sin(\alpha+\tfrac\pi4) = \frac{2n+1}{10\sqrt2} \\
\alpha = \arcsin\frac{2n+1}{10\sqrt2}-\frac14\pi
\qquad\text{or}\qquad
\alpha = \frac34\pi-\arcsin\frac{2n+1}{10\sqrt2}
\qquad\pmod{2\pi}
$$
where the second solution accounts for the fact that $\arcsin$ should be considered a multi-valued function, and I'd like to get all solution angles in some $2\pi$-wide interval. You'd consider any $n\in\mathbb Z$ for which
$$
-1\le\frac{2n+1}{10\sqrt2}\le1\\
-7.57\approx\frac{-10\sqrt2-1}2\le n\le\frac{10\sqrt2-1}2\approx6.57
$$
which matches the list in my original table of solutions.
Your range considerations
But the basic condition of using the above result is that $\beta$ lies between $\left(-\frac π2,\frac π2\right)$.
I'm not sure where you get this condition from. Neither the move from $\cot$ to $\tan$ nor the approach for solving $\tan\theta=\tan\beta$ does warrant such a restriction, as far as I can reason about it.
And so gives $\sin \alpha $ lies between $\left(0,\frac 15\right)$
Since some of the solutions in the above table are outside that range and appear to be valid, that's not the case.
Unfortunately, your justification for writing $\frac{\infty}{\infty}=1$ is not enough. There are several instances of ratios of functions $\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ whose numerator and denominator both approach $\infty$ as $x$ approaches some number $a$, but $\lim_{x\to a}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ exists as a finite number. One example is obtained by letting $f(x)=\frac{1}{|x|}$, $g(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}$, and $a=0$. If you compute the values of $f$ and $g$ near $a$, you'll see that $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ both explode to $\infty$ as $x$ gets closer and closer to $0$, but
$$\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{\frac{1}{|x|}}{\frac{1}{x^2}}=\frac{x^2}{|x|}=\frac{|x|^2}{|x|}=|x|$$
and $|x|$ gets closer and closer to $0$ as $x$ approaches $0$, "giving" $\frac{\infty}{\infty}=0$. More generally, the expression $\frac{\infty}{\infty}$ can be made equal to any number you like by using suitable limits, and is thus usually left undefined.
That said, we can make rigorous your "division by $\infty$" at the beginning, and avoid the use of "infinite" numbers like $\beta$ and infinitesimals like $\alpha$, by using a limit. Instead of jumping from
$$\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x\right)\text{ to }\frac{\tan(\pi/2)-\tan(x)}{1+\tan(\pi/2)\tan(x)}$$
and suffering problems with $\infty$, start with the fact that $\tan(\pi/2-x)$ can be approximated by $\tan(h-x)$ when $h$ is near $\pi/2$, and that this approximation gets better and better as $h$ gets closer and closer to $\pi/2$. More precisely, we start with
$$\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x\right)=\lim_{h\to \frac{\pi}{2}}\tan(h-x)\text{ (assuming that }x\text{ is not an integer muliple of }\pi\text{)}$$
and then apply the tangent sum identity to get
$$\tan(h-x)=\frac{\tan(h)-\tan(x)}{1+\tan(h)\tan(x)}\text{ for every }h\text{ sufficiently close to }\frac{\pi}{2}$$
Why the words "sufficiently close"? Well, for any given $x$, $\tan(h-x)$ is undefined if $h-x$ is an odd integer multiple of $\pi/2$, that is, $h-x=(2n+1)\frac{\pi}{2}$ for some integer $n$. Since we want to study the behavior of $\tan(h-x)$ when $h$ is close to $\pi/2$, but also want everything to be well-defined, we need to constrain $h$.
With this settled, if $h$ is close enough to $\frac{\pi}{2}$ to never be an integer multiple of $\pi$, then $\tan(h)$ will never be zero, so we can divide the numerator and denominator by the "infinite" number $\tan(h)$ (infinite because $\tan(h)$ grows to $\pm\infty$ as $h$ gets closer and closer to $\pi/2$) to get
$$\frac{\tan(h)-\tan(x)}{1+\tan(h)\tan(x)}=\frac{1-\frac{\tan(x)}{\tan(h)}}{\frac{1}{\tan(h)}+\tan(x)}\text{ for every }h\text{ sufficiently close to }\frac{\pi}{2}$$
As we previously mentioned, $\tan(h)$ explodes to $\pm\infty$ as $h$ approaches $\pi/2$. Bringing in the problematic infinities for suggestive notation, this gives
$$\frac{1-\frac{\tan(x)}{\tan(h)}}{\frac{1}{\tan(h)}+\tan(x)}\to\frac{1-\frac{\tan(x)}{\pm\infty}}{\frac{1}{\pm\infty}+\tan(x)}=\frac{1-0}{0+\tan(x)}=\cot(x)\text{ as }h\text{ approaches }\frac{\pi}{2}$$
More precisely, what we've shown is that the limit of our expression as $h$ approaches $\pi/2$ is $\cot(x)$:
$$\lim_{h\to\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{1-\frac{\tan(x)}{\tan(h)}}{\frac{1}{\tan(h)}+\tan(x)}=\frac{1-0}{0+\tan(x)}=\cot(x)$$
We can then conclude that $\tan(\pi/2-x)=\cot(x)$ because the limit of a function is necessarily unique.
Best Answer
This should be an exercise for high school students who just learned inverse trig function.
Denote $\alpha=\tan^{-1}((2x+1)/(x+1)), \beta=\tan^{-1}((2x-1)/(x-1))$ and $\gamma=\tan^{-1}(1+x)$. The original equation is \begin{equation} (1)\qquad \alpha+\beta=2\gamma. \end{equation} The equation you solved is equivalent to \begin{equation} (2)\qquad \tan(\alpha+\beta)=\tan(2\gamma). \end{equation}
Equations $(1)$ and $(2)$ are clearly not equivalent. Actually, equation $(1)$ is equivalent to equation $(2)$ plus \begin{equation} (3)\qquad \alpha+\beta \textrm{ and } 2\gamma \textrm{ are in the same interval } ((k-\frac{1}{2})\pi, (k+\frac{1}{2})\pi), \textrm{ for some integer } k. \end{equation} It suffices to check whether your solutions of $(2)$ satisfy $(3)$ or not, which is just an easy exercise. For example, when $x=-\sqrt{2}$, then $\tan(\alpha)=1+\frac{x}{1+x}>1$, thus $\alpha=\tan^{-1}((2x+1)/(x+1))\in (\pi/4, \pi/2)$. Similarly, $\beta\in (\pi/4, \pi/2)$ and thus $\alpha+\beta\in (\pi/2,\pi)$. While $-1<1+x<0$, thus $\gamma=\tan^{-1}(1+x)\in (-\pi/4,0)$ and thus $2\gamma\in (-\pi/2,0)$. Thus $\alpha+\beta$ cannot be $2\gamma$. Instead, we should have $\alpha+\beta=2\gamma+\pi$ since $\tan(\alpha+\beta)=\tan(2\gamma)$ according your solution. The rest solutions can be checked easily. Among your solutions of $(2)$, only $x=-\sqrt{2}$ does not satisfy $(3)$ and hence does not satisfy $(1)$. All of the rest solutions satisfy (3) and thus (1), assuming your solutions of $(2)$ are correct.
