Please advise me
1. if the schedule is tight? (I travel with my mom who is 70 years old)

If you use the bullet train to go to Nikko as well as Himeji, then together with the one way trip to Kyoto you do make a 7 day pass worth it. But you would get even better value if you switched your plans for Nov 5 & 6, then use the 7 day pass for Nov 6-12. Then you can also take the Haruka train to KIX.
One question comes up though on "working in Tokyo". You must be on a tourist visa or landing permit (Temporary Visitor) to be able to use the pass.
Your plans don't look too busy, although 2 days in Kyoto are too short. If you want a cheaper way into Tokyo from Narita, there is the 1000 yen bus.
