Answer 1

There is an IE Add-on for this: Adobe SVG Viewer

Answer 2

IE7 doesn't support SVG. If you have control of the server, you can try a workaround like ExplorerCanvas. If you have control of the client, you can use pretty much any other browser (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, ...), or wait for IE9.
