1) You are correct. The terms are interchangeable without changing the meaning.
2) I'm sorry I can't help you with this one. I don't understand what you are trying to say.
3) It depends on whether they are saying:
"...compared to last July."
or
"... compared to July last year." (Some people leave out the word 'year', and it is accepted but it is not what I would consider to be good English.)

The original sentence means:
"It was Jesus who asked Judas to betray him, because it was God's plan that a lowly man (such as Judas) should take steps which would begin the act of crucifixion and subsequent resurrection."
