No, they would get an increased caster level.
Keep in mind that Summon Monster I, II, III, etc are all different spells altogether.Example
You cast Summon Monster I at lv1, and it lasts 1 minute/level, with the feat it would last 2 minutes.
Lets say you cast it at lv5, it would last 6 minutes.
Keep in mind the verbiage, it doesn't say "Caster Level" 1 level higher, it just says "Level"
As an example, the Favored class option for Bards states that you "Choose one bardic performance; treat the bard as +1/2 level higher when determining the effects of that performance."This is obviously interpreted as "Treat as a 9th level bard when using the Inspire Courage ability"
Just to be even more clear, the Summon Monster ability isn't "Gain Summon Monster II at 3rd level" it is the same ability you got at 1st level only it is stronger now that you are higher level.
I will gladly accept the final ruling on this but I really don't see how it is different.
