A 5 to 1 (or thereabouts) voltage divider consisting of 2 resistors should work fine.

I guess you could use the battery voltage signal as the pull-up for one of the button lines. You wouldn't be able to monitor the voltage while the button is actually being pressed, but that shouldn't be a big deal. Also, very low supply voltages (unlikely to occur) could be mistaken as a button press.
