Is it true that in the NFL a placekick or dropkick doesn't have to be considered a FG attempt?
By rule, if you kick the ball during a scrimmage down, it's called a "scrimmage kick." If a scrimmage kick off the ground goes through the uprights, it's a field goal. Technically, there is no rule that defines a field goal "attempt." You don't necessarily have to "attempt" a field goal when placekicking on a scrimmage down, but if your kick doesn't go through the uprights, the same rules apply as would for a missed field goal.
Where do you spot the ball to kick a field goal?
Where the offense left the line of scrimmage
Is there a rule that puts holder back 7yards from line of scrimmage on point after touchdown kicks?
No. This distance is used because it is far enough from the line of scrimmage that it's difficult for the defense to interfere with the kick, but not so far that the kick is difficult to make.
Is the holder and center protected if the kick is placed less than seven yards of the line of scrimmage?

Using NFL rules can a blocked field goal be recovered by the kicking team behind the line of scrimmage and thrown for a touchdown?
If it doesn't cross the line of scrimmage and the kicking team recovers the ball, the kicking team can kick again on the next down. This happened this week in Iowa vs Northern Iowa. Read about it here: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=292482294
If a kickoff goes between the goalposts is that a fieldgoal?
No. Field goals can only be scored from a scrimmage kick that makes contact with the ground.
Can you still drop kick in the nfl?
Dropkicks can only be attempted on a play from scrimmage, not on a kicking play that restarts the game.
