Not really.
I personally prescribe downloading and using a private JDK with Eclipse
rather than installing it for use by the greater computer host. That
way, whatever is going on with my computer doesn't influence the
behavior of my Eclipse development (and vice-versa).

1) You don't want to worry about that (well, not exactly). Let Eclipse
do that for you for any specific project in your workspace. There is a
Preferences setting, Java -> Java Compiler that you can use to force
earlier Java compliance on a project. (Assuming that's what you're
talking about.)
2) I suggest you quickly peruse my article on setting up an Eclipse
toolstack:

I installed jdk7 at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\javaw.exe.
After reading your article, I modified eclipse.ini.
Then restarted eclipse.
In the Preferences setting, Java -> Java Compiler, Java compliance is from 1.3 to 1.6 - no 1.7.
The test java program use 1.7 feature
import java.nio.file.*;
which cannot be resolved.
eclipse.ini is as follows:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715. jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200 .v20090519
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

Unless there's something Java 7-specific, I shouldn't think you'd need
to worry about this. Just use 1.6. I haven't tried 1.7; it may be that
Eclipse doesn't react to it yet.
If you gain a different perspective on this, I'm sure many would be
interested in hearing. Not a lot of us have worried about Java 7 yet.
