federation is a problem for “make all your posts invisible with a single flag”, alas.

That’d be a bit like like trying to make all the emails you sent turn invisible in all the remote inboxes to which they’ve already been delivered.

If servers respect such a signal, sure they could be polite and redact the messages of yours they have on hand. Of course, abusive servers are likely to ignore that. But maybe it could be a handbrake of sorts?

Yes, but FYI: webfinger is mostly used as a lookup and initial locator for your profile

When you change instances later and you update your webfinger resources, anyone who has already followed you will continue to follow you at the old instance. You’ll need to set a redirect on that old account to the new one (at least, on a Mastodon server. Your mileage may vary on others)
