If I delete photos from my iPhone or iPad are they automatically deleted from iCloud? If so is there any way to stop them being deleted from iCloud? I pay for extra storage so I have plenty.

iCloud Photos is a file synching service, not a backup service per se so if you are using iCloud photos on your device then there is no way of not deleting the photos in iCloud when deleting them on your device. You would have to save the pictures on a separate hard drive or flash drive in order to keep them.
