At the time of the equinoxes, the sun's rays would be nominally tangent to the Earth at the
north and south poles. Those are 90 degrees north and south of the equator respectively.
Also I think at either 23.5 degrees north or 23.5 degrees south at sunrise and sunset.

How many months go between when the northern hemisphere receives direct rays from the sun as opposed to the southern hemisphere?
There is no time between these. On the day before the autumnal equinox, the sun is directly overhead in the northern hemisphere (at a latitude just north of the equator). The following day, it is directly overhead in the southern hemisphere (just south of the equator). The sun goes from being overhead in the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere instantaneously, the change happening at the autumnal equinox.

What event signals the beginning summer?
It should be remembered that the seasons are diametrically opposed in the hemispheres. When it is summer in the northern hemisphere it is winter in the southern one. Seasons officially start and end on the solstices and equinoxes. The solstices are the days on which daylight or night time are the longest. When the day is longest in the northern hemisphere night is longest in the southern. The equinoxes are when day time and night time are equal which varies depending on your latitude. (Except at the equator)
