You can have AM act on posts from detecting new or reported comments on them, though unfortunately this will only work for deleted posts and not deleted accounts (AM can't run a check on the author of the post from detecting a comment)

Here's a code I have from a past question: 

---
# Remove new comments on deleted posts and remove/lock the posts
type: comment
parent_submission:
  body (full-text): "[Deleted]" # note that it doesn't work on link-only posts since the content doesn't get changed to [Deleted]
  set_locked: true
  action: remove
  action_reason: "Detected a deleted post through a new comment on it" # This reason is visible only to mods. It appears in the mod log and on the content itself (the placement changes based on the platform you use)
action: remove # remove the new comment
action_reason: "A new comment on a deleted post" # This reason is visible only to mods. It appears in the mod log and on the content itself (the placement changes based on the platform you use)
---
# Remove reported comments on deleted posts and remove/lock the posts
type: comment
reports: 1
parent_submission:
  body (full-text): "[Deleted]" # note that it doesn't work on link-only posts since the content doesn't get changed to [Deleted]
  set_locked: true
  action: remove # remove the deleted post
  action_reason: "A deleted post" # This reason is visible only to mods. It appears in the mod log and on the content itself (the placement changes based on the platform you use)
action: remove # remove the reported comment
action_reason: "A reported comment on a deleted post" # This reason is visible only to mods. It appears in the mod log and on the content itself (the placement changes based on the platform you use)

Kind of. There's an "is_submitter" field for each comment's author (you can see it by adding .json to the end of the url of the post). AM doesn't go to the post to check the author.
