2) You are deleting an Apple Account.

How to delete your Apple Account - Apple Support

“What happens to my App Store or iTunes Store credit when I delete my account?

Any unused credit balance in your account isn't redeemable or refundable after your Apple ID has been deleted. You can either spend your balance or contact Apple Support to request a refund before deleting your account. Similarly, if you have a balance due to Apple, you must clear this balance before we can delete your account.”

3) There are posts (e.g., Accidentally added funds to Apple ID rath… - Apple Community ) claiming that if funds were transferred from Apple Cash or a bank account, Apple might grant a reversal request to the originating account. This is not mentioned in Apple’s documentation (which, if anything, pretty firmly states the opposite about no “return” of funds), so even if Apple might do this on occasion, they are not so obligated.
