Which is it? 7D Mark I? Or 7D Mark II? You list both in your headline.

 

The answer may be the same in both cases. I don't use an iPad, so don't know for certain.

 

Can you tether the camera to the iPad with the supplied USB cable? If so, install EOS Utilities that was supplied on the disk that came with the camera (or download it from one of the Canon websites). With that, just put the camera in Live View and you can control it from the computer, including previewiing images and focusing.  

 

No, Canon didn't "omit" or "forget" WiFi with 7D-series. Like all their more pro-oriented cameras, instead of built-in WiFi that would be severely effected and limited by the metal-clad (magnesium) camera body, they offer separate accessory WFT modules that have faster, more reliable and much, much longer range WLAN connectivity. 70D, 6D and many of the lower models have built-in WiFi that's got approx. 25 or 30 foot range. The WFT modules used by 7D and above have as much as 300 or 400 foot range. The original 7D and the 7DII use different WFT modules, and unfortunately they aren't cheap.

 

The original 7D uses WFT-E5 (E5A in N. America). The 7DII uses WFT-E7/E7A (version 2).

Canon makes additional diopter eyepiece adapters. Not sure about 7D Mark II, but here is for Mark I.
