The LIRR will get you into Penn Station, which is just a few blocks from Times Square. You'll be perfectly fine at 7am, since that's the beginning of rush hour and lots of people are on mass transit at that time of day.
David, I think the Staten Island Ferry is free because it's essentially the only way for people who live on Staten Island to get to Manhattan without having to drive/take a bus through Jersey, which is a much longer process. As a New Yorker, I've found any time you can avoid taking a bus or anything that can get stuck in traffic (especially when coming into the city from outside of it), you should do it!

I'm definitely gonna ride that SAF for sure! I wonder though, because you have to get off and get in line to get back on for the return trip, I should probably plan on quite a wait right?
