You can rewind via the website. 

 

And it depends. If you deleted shared folders then you've also deleted for everybody in that share. If it wasn't it just impacts you

Some of them were definetly shared folders. I'll try to find these files from the "Deleted files" tab in the web version and put them back there.
Thanks
