frets are relative to the capo. if you have the capo on the second fret, and the tab says you play x32x1x, you're actually playing on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th frets.

The capo on 7 - use same chords as raised B. Actually easier cause the frets are smaller.
I thinks it's more diffictult with the capo on because I have trouble adjusting my hands so the capo doesn't interfere with them. But that's just me.
I as well have a little trouble playing with a capo that high only because I have freaky ass long fingers. But, for most people with the stubs, I think it will be easier.

the below tab is actually perfect for my finger size..

Not too hard to get down, if someone wants an audio clip, I might have to some to do one up here in a bit.
