As long as you deleted them less than 30 days ago, assuming that you are a free user, you can do it yourself via https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore/recover-deleted-files-folders

No, sorry.
Purchasing does not retroactive anything.
You would have needed to have the subscription at time of deletion and kept it. Once you stop paying any files over 30 days are unrecoverable.

They dont. They've publicly said this on here lots if you hunt around.
Think about it this way - they are stating they are removing files after a set date if they didn't do that and data was hacked or leaked in a breach it would cause HUGE legal issues. They'd also never make money as people just wouldn't upgrade and would only do it when they need to recover stuff.
