While this isn't a critical feature, it would be a nice 'quality of life' improvement.

Are answer drafts kept if a question is deleted?

Can mods see answer drafts from other users?
No.
I'm a moderator on one SE site, and we definitely can't see drafts before they're posted. (Stack Exchange staff probably can, but I don't know, and that's not what you're asking about anyway.)
