#1: You're overwriting one bind with another, you need to user a different key or create a cvar on the server for the say message

#2: You are trying to execute a console command but are not bringing down the console.

Use this instead (assuming you already have the rcon password entered):

bind F7 "toggleconsole;rcon map_restart;toggleconsole"

As for the server cvar, you could add:

set restart "say Restarting Map in 5 seconds;wait 5.0"

Then use your bind as this:

bind F7 "toggleconsole;rcon vstr restart;rcon map_restart;toggleconsole"

Of course, you could get simpler and just add the whole thing to a server cvar and just bind a key to execute it:

cvar: set restart "say restarting map in 5 seconds; wait 5.0; map_restart"

Bind: bind F7 "VSTR restart"

There are many possibilities...though I've probably confused you more :?

Add it to your server config file.

The say message is not really needed for something as simple as a map restart, people would get the idea pretty quick I think once the map restarts :P

That said, if you're going to expose yourself to adding new cvars of commands to your server, then check out the guides section of this site, there's a custom commands config there by someone. I made something similar to it, though more inclusive and customized for my team; but his stuff is a good place to start.
