I did a similar route last year but didn't go to Nordkapp.
Anywhere in North Norway the weather can be unpredictable and cold at anytime of year.
We met a few people on their way back that had gone to Nordkapp and not seen anything due to rain/cloud etc. obviously if you have time you can work around the weather though.
The northern parts of Norway are amazing though, so go if you can, just don't get your hopes up about the final destination.
here's some temps to give you an idea of what to expect in The north
Tromsø - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In terms of money, camping, showers etc. free camping won't be that easy in Norway as all the flat secitons of land already have campsites on them, but they are normally quite cheap (around 100 NOK if i recall correctly) and all have showers/laundry/cooking facilities/wireless internet etc.
Finland on the other hand, free camping is easy in the North and almost necessary as some areas don't have anything else. In the south its a bit busier but probably still possible.
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania are a lot cheaper but campsites are less frequent
Poland has a few campsites around and quite cheap but don't drink the water.
Not sure about free showers, don't remember seeing any.
For cheap food in Norway get hot dogs from petrol stations and pre cooked sausages from most supermarkets/shops.
