Yes, the option to delete files on the destination that are no longer on the source is available if you use rsync.

Note that leaving a comment in the exchange is not the same as voting for the idea.

  2) You need an rsync server installed on the destination share. What is the destination (a Windows PC??? Something else?)
  
  3) Overall rsync throughput is slower than CIFS backup, but since it is incremental it generally works out faster in the end.
