Answer 1

You can install the account_cancel module. It will allow you to configure your journal(s) with the possibility to cancel entries (a new checkbox will be visible on the journal configuration).

Then, you will be able to cancel an invoice (the status will then be "cancelled") and as soon as the invoice is cancelled you can set it back to draft..

But as soon as an invoice has been confirmed, you won't be able to delete it permanently (the invoice number stays reserved for that invoice)
