1. Is there a way to view the copyright rules on a Wikia? Different wikis will have different expectations for licensing, so a user will have to be proactive in searching for policy rules (if there are any; normally what I would do is look for them in top nav and/or homepage). In the MCU Wiki's case, I took a simple cursory glance and found links to the Policy category both on its homepage and in its top navigation. Looking for a wiki's policies, whether through top nav, the homepage, url, or search bar, is generally the place to start.

If you check the MCU's policy category, you'll find that they have an Images policy with a whole Licensing section for your perusal. Included on the page is a Deletion section which explains why an image might be deleted.

I've looked you up on the MCU Wiki and I see what you mean: you've been blocked for one year due to copyright violation. Now, if you check the Policies category (again, accessible via Discussions > Policies top nav) you'll see they have a Blocking Policy as well. You can see that they provide a typical blocking range ("24 hrs - 1 month") and list copyright violation as a reason for blocking:

Copyright violations: Users who continually post copyrighted material despite being warned should be blocked so as to prevent further violations. Well, it does say, "Only in very rare cases should non-proxy IPs be blocked for more than three months," so one year does sound extreme in this case. Like Andrewds1021 said, you'll probably have to contact one of the local admins via their Community Central message wall to discuss this.
