Explanation:
When" asks specifically for a time, so it is correct. "What" can ask for anything, but when it is used about a deadline - which is a time - it can only refer to a time, so it is correct also.

Explanation:
The most likely (and most idiomatic) response to "What's the deadline?" is the deadline expressed as a date or date/time, not the prepositional phrase, "by {deadline}". But by is not redundant there. Rather, you're answering a question other than the one that was asked.
