It is a G chord with an added 7th: G, B, D and the 7th F#. It is the same in other chords like C7 which would be: C, E, G and the 7th B.

Actually the chord symbol G7 indicates a minor 7 by default. G7 would be G, B, D and F natural. If F sharp is used, that would actually be Gmaj7, and the same applies to C7. C7 is C, E, G, and B flat. If B natural is used, that is a Cmaj7.

What are the letters and numbers written above guitar music called?

The letters and numbers appearing above guitar music indicate the chords to be played. The letters indicate the root of the chord (for example - G means a G major chord, but a G/B would be asking you to play a G major chord, but have B as the lowest note heard). The numbers indicate variants on a chord, such as a suspension to be resolved, or a chord with an added 7th tone (for example, G7 would be a G chord, but add in the seventh note above, an F for a bit more interest).
