Great idea, but it'd be better if it had more info imo...

1. Who deleted and a reason for deleting if they've entered one

2. Ability to purge (root admin only, naturally)

3. Link to thread (it just says "From Topic ID x") it came from

Much better than the posts just disappearing to nowhere it must be said.

Also, it wuold help if those deleted topics had a record of who deleted them (Administrator's option). As currently it appears only for the original topic, which is quite inconveniantly.

Yes! It is really very important feature!
Just look through this forum:

There must be a feature to track all deletitions of posts and topics with ability to read theese deleted posts/topics.

I like the way vB do it: a post/topic gains a flag, saying it is deleted.
If you are a member - you don't see this post/topic at all, but if you are an moder/admin you see a small line, something like "There is a deleted posts" and a link "Read post". It is very neat and comfortable.
Of course you can click a link "Restore post" and it is visible by everyone again!

My company is going towards IPB from vB and I really looking forward for such features... Thanks in advance!

You can hide (unapprove) posts in IPB - it would work similar to what you've just described.

You can also view the moderator logs to find out who has deleted what.
