Interesting links,

In the UK it's showing the initial link as costing £ 29,90.

'rip off Britain' I guess.

Probably to pay for import duties due to brexit. Not sue what the duty on account deletion is nowadays.
Would GDPR mitigate the need to pay?
I'd say so, yes. Right to deletion is a thing.
Administrative Processing Fees are a thing of GDPR. In most cases, however, this should not be a applicable for something as simple as an SQL statement from a button.
Why is it legal to charge if they don't manually, but not of they do up front work to automate it? That would create an incentive to not automate, which would be a chilling effect.
Possibly. I've done GDPR requests in the past and been asked for ID to action the request and all other kinds of daft caveats, so YMMV.
