Question

How can I delete a group that I created?

Go onto the group's page and find the Settings option. You should be able to delete the page from there.
Question

What do I do if I don't want to leave a group, but don't want to be notified of every post that is entered?

There should be a setting at the top of the group which says Turn off post notifications. Turn post notifications off, and then swipe the app out/close the app, then reopen. You should be good to go then.
Question

Do photos I posted to a Facebook group stay in the group even after I leave the group?

Yes, but you could remove them before leaving if it's really important for you.
