Answer 1

As for as my experience with SearchRequest the filter will not work at any cost, it has its own issue.. and to your case to get Deleted Objects changes you should use Domain Admin privileged account or something like that..

Here, you need to you give the privileged account who has complete rights over Deleted Objects container.

System.Net.NetworkCredential cr = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(@"administrator", "xxx", "xxx");
        LdapConnection connection = new LdapConnection(str_dcName);

Answer 2

solution is need to add isDeleted=TRUE to request object

SearchRequest request = new SearchRequest("DC=xx,DC=xxx,DC=com", 
  "(|(objectClass=organizationalUnit)(isDeleted=TRUE)(objectCategory=Person))",
  SearchScope.Subtree, attribs);
