Yes. The 7th is the current edition of APA Style: there is no “8th edition” published by the APA.
APA 7 accepts several fonts, such as Calibri 11, Arial 11 or Georgia 11. If your professor wants one other than Times New Roman 12, use “Customize this style guide” and pick yours.
DocPana puts it on its own page, centered and with the title in bold, and the text starts on the next page. Check it has what your professor asks for: title, author, affiliation, course, instructor and date.
No. In-text citations stay as you wrote them, because turning “(García, 2020)” into “[1]” requires knowing which reference each one points to. If they don’t match the chosen style, the report tells you.
