Someone else can give you a better answer I'm sure, but for #1, you
can just mark all of the mails with the process mark---hit # in the
summary buffer. Then when you want to delete them, hit B <del>. It
will delete all marked mails. Unmark a mail with M-#. If you have 10
mails in a row you want to mark, do C-u 10 #, and it will mark the
next 10 mails. 

Not sure about II. I think there is a specific command to expire a
mail, then, depending on what your expiration settings are, it could
end up being deleted.
