You've used your RV for 4-5 short trips. You're already prepared for a long one. :) Just think of 4 short ones hooked together. No different.
1. Do we take our dog (Basenj/19 lbs/'8 years old)?
You'll have a more enjoyable trip without the dog. No, I wouldn't use a generator for AC while you're gone.
2. Best RV area for Grand Canyon..little concerned about no hook ups at National Parks and if they run out of sites.
Trailer Village RV in Grand Canyon NP is the very best place to stay. The free shuttle stops right there. Mather campground in the park has shade so it really wouldn't be that hot. The nights will cool down dramatically - will need a blanket!
If 2 weeks is all you have it's better than not seeing these places at all. Go for it!
However, I'd highly suggest you head straight for Grand Canyon if that's your main objective. Do what you want around that small circle - Slide Rock (start very early in the morning to make it a day trip from Grand Canyon), Antelope Canyon - you'd need to move to Page, AZ. It's too far from Grand Canyon for a day trip. There are also some wonderful Indian ruins in the Flagstaff area.
By then, you'll probably have to hightail it home. Save any Midwest stuff for another trip.
