4. Does my subscription get canceled after I delete my account?

Yes, it does. It only takes effect after the 30 days hold period, until then the subscription is paused but no charges will incur. If you still don't re-enable your account after the 30 days, your account will be deleted and subscription will automatically be cancelled.

However, do remember this will not cancel your subscription which is handled separately by Apple or Google. Please refer to this answer if you need to adjust your payment settings on Apple and Google.
