spelling error
It's just a spelling error but on this page:
http://thejapanesepage.com/kanji/kanji. ... nji_id=496
Shouldn't the romanji be:
shichi nin no samurai wo mimashita ka?
not
shichi nin no samurai o mimashita ka?

Shouldn't the romanji be:
shichi nin no samurai wo mimashita ka?
not
shichi nin no samurai o mimashita ka?

RE: spelling error
No, the を is a particle used to indicate an object, therefore, it's pronounced "o."
Ignore this if you already know it, but in addition to the を pronounced "o", when used as particles はis pronounced "wa" and へ is pronounced "e".

No.
Yes.
Maybe.
I am of the opinion that if you are going to romanize 'wo' then you ought to use kunrei-siki entirely.
siti nin no samurai wo mimasita ka?
But ultimately, both romanizations are technically correct. 'wo' is pronounced 'o'.

RE: spelling error
It's romaji because the Japanese word is ローマ字, not ローマン字, and it's "romanize" because that's an English word, not derived from ローマ字.
