1) is should not be a problem, but depends. To be on safe side, take a letter from your professor or graduate coordinator saying you will be late due to some genuine reasons.
2) summer break should not be a problem & even couple of days after your school officially starts. But if it's one week or more, just take a letter from your prof or concerned authority.

And yes, you need i20 signed & all. I am assuming you know all other rules & are bothered only about one week late & missing first class.

No problem..take signed i20 from DSO and enjoy trip

If you're travelling for the summer....u just need to get a signature on your I-20 from ur DSO.....with a return date that's it! as long as you don't miss (or stay) away for 6 months (like missing a semester) you should be fine! safe travels!
