Can she eat hay?

Can my 7 month old pygmy goat eat hay?

Most definitely! Once they are weaned(usually at 3 months) hay should be free choice, since she is 7 months she is more than weaned

Is she old enough to eat grain?

Yeah, By 7 months age a young doe should be fully switched to hay and grain, she should have plenty of browse(branches, grass, weeds, shrubs, etc. ) and should be eating all on her own.
I would only feed her a cup of grain as over feeding it can cause problems. If she has never eaten it before introduce it slowly.
If you are wondering what brand of grain I would suggest giving her previous owners a call and finding out what they were feeding her before.

Any other info you need? Also, I will direct you to BackYardHerds.com , it is the sister site to this site. Lots of friendly goat people there who would love to give you a hand with your new girl

I would also suggest this site, which has a lot of info on what a goat should and shouldn't eat:
