Answer 1

Just keep and reset Recno

var
I:Integer;
.......

I := Ads.Recno;
Ads.Delete;
Ads.Recno := I;

an example implementation for usage with DBNavigator could be

Procedure DeleteAndKeepRecno(Ads: TCustomAdoDataset);
var
  rn: Integer;
begin
  rn := Ads.RecNo;
  Ads.Delete;
  Ads.RecNo := rn;
end;

procedure TForm4.DBNavigator1Click(Sender: TObject; Button: TNavigateBtn);
begin
  if Button = nbDelete then
  begin
    DeleteAndKeepRecno (TCustomAdoDataset(TDBNavigator(Sender).DataSource.DataSet));
    Abort;
  end;
end;
