An account got link to a business account, and then the admin deleted it, is there a way to get it back?

You need to get the admin of the Business account to contact support to have it reinstated.

How come anyone is able to delete my account, without any information? 

When you accepted the Business invite, you gave control of the account away to the Business admin - the onboarding process is quite explicit about this, its no longer your account, and you are asked if you want to create a new personal account to move your own files to.
