Thank you for your help in advance.

She can go to the third floor either from the terminal or after she crosses the streets(into the parking lot and upstairs).

My son will fly from Raleigh on American and his friend will fly from Raleigh on Delta tomorrow. Both arrive at JFK Terminal 8, and both will depart from JFK Terminal 7 bound for Madrid on the same flight. Will they have to get their bags at Terminal 8, and recheck them at Terminal 7??

Delta lands at Terminal 2, not 8.
I believe both Delta and AA will check their bags through so they don't have to deal with them at JFK.

My wife arrives to Terminal 8 by American Eagle from Toronto and then flies by Finnair to Helsinki also from Terminal 8. On her way back she arrives by Finnair from Helsinki and then flies by American Eagle to Toronto (all arrivals and departures from T8).

Does she need in JFK to recheck her luggage? Does she need to go through security screening ?

ONLY on her way back she need to pick up her bags, go through US customs, recheck the bags at AA connecting flights counter, clear security and go to the gate.

Even if she flies from JFK to Toronto (Canada)? Again it is the same Terminal 8 that she arrives from Helsinki and flies to Toronto.

Passengers from Helsinki have to clear customs( and security after that), regardless where they are connecting to.

I will left USA flying from San Francisco to Madrid stopping on New York. SFO to NY fly is American Airlines arriving to Terminal 8, NY to Madrid fly is Iberia Airlines and left Terminal 7. I've a single ticket so I guess my luggage will be transferred directly between AA and Iberia.
My questions are:
Should I re-check in my luggage?
What the procedure is (if it exits) to go from T8 to T7 always been inside the "safe" side?
Thanks for your answer.

No need to recheck your bags - they will be transferred by AA.
After you dissembark the AA plane, follow the signs for the Airtrain , take it on track 2 and get off next stop. Then go to the main building(T7), clear security and head to the gate for MAD flight. I will assume AA will issue the boarding pass for you MAD flight(if not , stop by Iberia counter and get one).
