Other than that I'd ignore the advice above
I never told him to create new characters.

Y'all both posted at the same time, your advice probably wasn't there when he made that post.

They most certainly can. They probably haven't, because they hope you will renew your sub one day, but if they wanted to do anything with the data stored on their servers, they could.

They of course have the ability to, but they've clearly stated that they won't delete your characters, like you said, to lure as many players back as possible.
To the OP, you should still have your characters, although the names may need to be changed if someone petitioned for a character name and a GM changed yours to let the current player take it. I'm not sure on the level requirements for them to do this. e.g., if the requested name is on a character over level 20, do not grant the change, or even how common this is.
Like others have started, your character plays completely differently nowadays and I'd take a moment to read through any resources you can find online about your class/spec to get brought up to speed. WoW Insider and Wowhead are a great starting point.
Welcome back! The world's falling apart, but it will get better!

Ring Blizz support (see post above). They'll be able to sort everything out for you.

Strange thing is I went to make a Battle.net account and it said that I had an account already under my email address yet, every time I put in my first and last name, they said it doesn't match the ones originally given. I wonder if I just put a fake name in back whenever I made the account (probably...)? I don't even know now! It's been so long. Uhg, this might get annoying. :)
You might have been hacked. You should call Blizzard as soon as you can.

in-game support actually has a FAQ on this....after extended lengths of time, they may delete characters to reduce the amount of useless data in their systems.

I was gone for a year and a half before, everything was still there, save for the new gear I demanded they give me for coming back as such an awesome player. ok, I keed, I keed!
Should be there though. 4 years is a long time, did you quit in BC?
