47µF 35V (it's Electrolytic)... could I use it to replace C7 which is a 47µF 16V?
The tolerance spec is largely irrelevant. Yes, you can use the high voltage rated cap. Just don't go lower than the stock part and you will be fine. And keep in mind that you can use longer-life tantalum caps too in that size. You will never have to replace a tant, but you will (maybe in 15 years) with an electrolytic.
