Hello @AtanasM

 

you can create your own sharepoint permission level:

Your second question: when you move a file, it will be moved and DELETED on the target, i think, it's not possible, but you will find out.

I don't know, as my answer: when you move a file, it will be moved and DELETED on the target, i think, it's not possible, but you will find out when you create your own permission level, add it and try it.
