Can I delete my Amazon Seller Account without Deleting my Amazon Account?
I'm looking for reassurance that I can delete my Amazon Seller account by clicking "request account closure" from the "Settings>account info>account management>close account" section. And that doing this won't delete my AWS, prime, etc. subscriptions that are associated with the same email address.
I simply want to deactivate my Amazon seller account without touching the rest of my subscriptions.

Why do you want to close your seller account? You only get one, so if you decide to come back, you won't be able to.

You cannot delete an Amazon account. Period.
You can close your selling account without it affecting your buying account. Please note this does not work the other way round -- you MUST NOT close your buying account that is connected with the selling account. If you do that, you're sunk.
You cannot close a selling account unless it is in good standing. You will have to delete all inventory and wait 90 days before closing the account.

Hello there @Seller_e0TA3d93nwUAo
You have already received great advice above by fellow sellers @Seller_OvL8C4BJWiuS9and @Seller_Hi7wbO2Kbo6bl.
I only wanted to pop in here to provide you with this link which outlines the steps to take to close your seller account.
If you decide to permanently close your account, follow these steps:
- Fulfill any outstanding orders.
- Wait 90 days after your last sale to ensure the A-to-z Guarantee claims period is honored.
- Wait until you have a zero balance in your account (your next disbursement or charge date).
- Resolve all of your transactions with buyers, including issuing any necessary refunds.
- Confirm that your bank account information on file is up-to-date to receive a final payment.
- Check your Performance notifications to make sure that all the reasons for your account's suspension have been resolved and your account is restored.
The above link should provide you with the information that you are looking for here.

If you are on the Pro plan just downgrade to individual and stop the $40/month. It will sit dormant at no cost.
If you ever want to sell again you will have to reactivate it.
If you close it, it is gone forever. Unless you're 90 years old, THAT is a long time!
