Help to maximize 7 days JR Pass

First time going to Japan this summer...

I need your expert help in maximizing JR Pass 7 days.

Our itinerary is as follow:
June 18 (Friday): Arrive Narita airport, stay in Tokyo
June 21 (Monday): Maybe daytrip to Hakone
June 22 (Tuesday): Tokyo - Kyoto
June 24 (Thurday): Daytrip to Osaka
June 27 (Sunday): Kyoto - Tokyo
June 28 (Monday): Maybe daytrip to Mitaka (Ghibli Museum)
June 29 (Tuesday): Leave Tokyo to Narita airport

I think it is best if we use our JR Pass on June 22 from Shinjuku to Kyoto because that way the pass can cover Round Trip to Kyoto.
My questions:
1. Can we use our JR Pass one last time on Tuesday June 29 to go to Narita (Since we activated our 7days pass on Tues June 22)?
2. For our first 4 days in Tokyo (June 18 to June 22), do we need to use JR pass in Tokyo?

Huge thanks... I feel transportation is not cheap in Japan
