1. With one week, unless you plan to drive around a lot and include stuff like Pompeii, I'd try to spend a couple days on an island such as Capri or Ischia. Similarly, I wouldn't spend a whole week in one hotel or a single village along the coast.
2. June is generally still shoulder season while July is high season, so the earlier you can travel the better for prices/availability as well as the avoidance of crowds and traffic jams
