I’ve been cautious with FB, but their obvious data mining is becoming blatant. In the last few weeks, I keep getting friend suggestions for people whom I ONLY know professionally. How deep is the mining to put those suggestions together.

Not deep at all. It means they let it scan their PAB to compare it to their list and see the matches and send friend requests. It’s voluntary by the user, that’s not mining.
