As many mentioned is deleting a matter of requesting relays to delete your post, so no guarentees there (but frankly it will probably work).
As for the edits. There are different types of 'events'(what we call a note/post) called 'kinds'. There are simple tekst notes, long-form posts, picture posts, cooking recipes, agenda items, profile information, your follow list, chess-matches, etc. etc.
What you are currently using is kind 1, its the most basic of the basic tekst note. The idea is that those are not editable, this is because edits are technically complicated, and we want to keep kind 1 superduper simple. Now because nobody is actually in controll, there is an app that allows you to edit them, but all the other apps will ignore it; you are better off ignoring that feature.
Other types of notes, such as the long-form one, you can edit and that is explicitly part of the specification.
Every 'kind' had its use, and kind 1 is the univerally understood note for simpel messages. Dont fuzz too much you cant edit those. Want to write a longer more involved post, that has a title, headers etc. and the ability to edit? Try an app like yakihonne, it will allow you to make such 'events'.
Best of luck on your Nostr journey
