iCloud.com is not designed to be accessed via Safari on an iPhone.


iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204264


You view them in the Photos app on an iOS device. You can also use a computer and login to icloud.com and go to the Photos app there.


If you didn't have iCloud Photos turned on but do have an iCloud backup, you can restore the entire phone (not just the photos) from iCloud but you cannot otherwise view the contents of the backup. https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521
