It's the quotes that are messing it up... what you probably want is:

exten => s,4,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(number)}" = "15552221313"]?15:5)

Also, the CallerID number probably doesn't have the 1 on the front
(depending on whether or not your upstream provider sends the 1).

Yes, you can use the 'n' priority, and use labels to mark the
priorities you want to jump to from your GotoIf()s.
