Firstly, why is Options->Editing Options->Auto Delete Selection
"greyed"
out? I find it to be a useful feature and would like to turn it back on,
but I can't (at least not from the Options menu). Have I missed
downloading a required package?
Probably. Do you have pending-del.el (from the "pc" package?)
And secondly, why is 21.2 honouring the options that I set for 20.4?
You mean NOT honoring the options? Because the options menu is now
using custom.[1] I suggest you read the NEWS entries for 21.0 and 21.2.
From first glance the new customise face buffer isn't as simple
or
easy to use as the old edit faces in 20.4.
And if you mean your font settings not getting saved, you have just
discovered why 'options-save-faces' was 'nil' in 20.4. You have as
they say, been warned.
Nobody has written an auto conversion routine for the options yet nor
ported M-x edit-face RET to custom.
The latter would be really appreciated but will probably be very hard.

Footnotes:
[1] Technically it is because the options loading blurb in your
.emacs checks for XEmacs major version == 20 or 19.
