The Trade Union Act is silent about refusal of membership to any employee. However, the rules of the Trade Union which is mandatory for obtaining registration has provided for any clause restricting membership, an employee disqualified on such conditions as specified in the rules may not be given membership. Under general law, membership is open to all employees not below the age of 14 years working in the industry for which the union is formed.

Yes. The minimum number of seven is the workers employed in the establishment.
It is not just 7 but 10 percent or 100 persons whichever is less is required to form a trade union. All these should be workers employed in the industry. As such, if your establishment has 100 workers, then the minimum number of workers required to form a trade union is 10 persons. If you have 1500 workers, obviously, you will require at least 100 workers working in the establishment to form a trade union. At the same time, if you have only 50 workers, certainly, ten percent or 5 persons cannot form a union but 7 workers should be there. You may refer the provisios to section 4 which says that the minimum number of workers is those employed in the establishment.
Section 9A also requires that a registered trade union should always maintain the above number, failing which the registration will be cancelled. In this section also, the required minimum is the workers employed in the establishment.
