It has been confirmed that we are not the N7 seen and I think this could be further indicated by us only seeing N7 in cutscene-like shots from what I can recall. The enviroment where N7 is seen also matches the enviroment where Ryder is seen which suggests it takes place on the same planet.

If you're interested, I've looked at the E3 trailer and the technical footage over in the CSI: BSN thread and noted some things including that the N7 is seen alongside two squadmates and seemed to be in the pointman role. This is part of why I have the theory that N7 is actual the leader of the squad then. Interestingly, the krogan seen with Ryder in the E3 trailer seems to be the non-squadmate krogan seen in the technical footage based on the color of the krogan's headplates. The krogan that is seen alongside N7 in the desert seem to have headplates that are a different color but that may simply be a trick of the lighting used.

N7 leader of squad
From a game perspective, we must see this unfold at the start of the game, maybe in a cut scene. That scene gives Ryder the reason for exploring the planet?
I would discount that tech footage as just early concepts.

As to the krogan, which I see as female, you may be right. The reason I see a female is that her armour is similar to this one:

Ohhh, that is right: it does look like an armored version of the female clothes we saw Eve wearing! A female krogan would be so neat.

In the CSI: BSN Thread, I had a theory that the N7 and the squad take the vehicle out leaving Ryder and possibly someone else at the base we see in the trailer where Ryder is being charged at. The architecture type of the base seem the same as in the scene where Ryder is fighting a glowing creature. Said creature also appears to be of the same kind that charged at Ryder. Since we later see Ryder running along some tracks on the ground, I theorized that Ryder might be following the tracks to find the N7 and the squad possibly to warn them about whatever Ryder saw at the base. Meanwhile, the N7 and the squad have wound up fighting the aliens we see in the scene where they're running towards battle.
