And let me get this straight...it's the second, not the seventh movie in the franchise? I assume it's an adaptation of the story of the FF7 game, but does it make any sense to keep the number in the title?

Not an adaptation, but a sequel. The FF games are (usually) not canon with each other, so specifying that it belongs to the same number story makes some sense. I usually leave off the VII when referring to it anyway and just call it Advent Children or FF:AC or something.
