Either hand can be used. Raise the hand to a comfortable height and with all other fingers extended, connect the tip of the ring finger with the tip of the thumb. "Seven" can also be tapped on the top of the opposite wrist to say "7 o'clock" or brought down from the chin to say "7 years old."
Sign 'seven' by connecting your thumb and ring finger with the other fingers extended. Keep your palm facing outward so the number is clearly visible to the person you are talking to.
Form the 'seven' handshape and tap it gently on the top of your opposite wrist. This combines the number with the location for time, efficiently signing '7 o'clock'.
Start with the 'seven' handshape touching your chin, then bring your hand downward. This specific movement incorporates the number into the standard sign for age.

Think of the numbers 6 through 9 as a sequence moving across your hand. Six starts with the pinky, so seven is simply the next finger in line, which is your ring finger.
For the numbers 6 through 9, your palm should face outward toward the person you are talking to. This is different from numbers 1 through 5, which typically face inward when counting.
No, either hand can be used. Most signers use their dominant hand for numbers and fingerspelling because it feels more comfortable, but using your non-dominant hand is completely fine and easily understood.
