Is deleting Instagram the same as deactivating?

Sort of, but not quite. As we explained above , when you delete your account, it will function exactly the same as if you had deactivated it for 30 days. The account and all content on it, like images and posts, will be invisible to everyone, including you, but you’ll be able to restore it by simply logging back in at any time. If, however, you fail to do so within the allotted timeframe, the account and all data on it will be deleted permanently.

How long can you deactivate Instagram for?

Indefinitely. Unlike deletion, which has a 30-day grace period, you can deactivate your Instagram account for an indefinite amount of time, and it will stay that way until you choose to log back in. Just keep in mind that you’ll only be able to deactivate your account once every 7 days.
