Why only 10k+ rep users can see all the deleted questions/answers?
The site is community moderated and most tasks can be performed by users with enough points. One of these tasks is to (soft) delete posts, to review these deletions and to undo them if needed.

Rationale and need for rule barring low-reputation users from inserting images
We already had users posting pornographic pictures, or stuff like that. I think that's a good enough reason.

My delete votes aren't registering nor does the delete vote option appear without a prior vote.
I know for a fact that you can cast delete votes (as you successfully helped to delete a question).

How could a user with a single point cast votes?
The user had sufficiently many points in the past, due to a post that is now deleted. Absent evidence to the contrary, I assume they had cast the votes while they had enough points to do so.

The enforced delay between questions is lifted at 125 points, so this will soon not be an issue anymore.
