I can get teaballs into my better bottles but the neck if a glass carboy is much narrower.
Even the generous opening of a corny keg is narrower than you might think. Most tea infusers are too wide to fit. I think I had to go with 2.5" tea infusers and I use several of them when I dry hop.
7 oz of of hops will fill a lot of balls.
No worries on the hops. If you want to add a filter to prevent the dry hops from entering your keg or bottling bucket, just zip tie a knee high leg stocking to the end of your hose. It will catch all hop matter that you siphon or run off.
