Everything I've seen about Ceres is stating that Dawn captured the planet at 1,600 feet per pixel. I thought it was already at 700. Any info?

The closest image released (and included in your post in thumbnail form) is 480 meters per pixel (~1600 feet), but it's just a handful of navigation images. The next mapping orbit (titled Survey in this image) will be ~1,400 feet per pixel. The preliminary scheduled dates in the attached image are no longer accurate.

So what are they doing in July?

Lowering the altitude. Ion propulsion is slow and steady.

What is that casting a rectangular shadow at about 11 o' clock of the crater in the top of the image?

From the look of things, a relatively straight crater edge.

This ceres thing is very interesting. I like how it's being handwaved away as ice, but I'd like to know how this is so localized.

Nothing is being "handwaved," /x/tard. They don't know what our is and they say they don't know. Ice is the most likely option based on the information they have and they say it is the most likely option. What do you want from them?
