To opt out? Shouldn't it be opt in?

No, this form is about right to object. It isn't about consent because consent is not needed for legitimate interests, which in this case is to offer personalized advertising.

This form lets people object to the use of their data for a legitimate interest.

What about the 15 years of behavioural data they already hold? Can we request that is deleted?

I would say, you can request anything from them.

Like I request people to just not use FB anymore, if they don't want to be tracked by them.

Might have the same effect.
