If I were to take a stranger's picture, and the stranger were to approach me and ask me to tear up or delete the photo, do I have a legal right to refuse? Does the other person have the legal right to force me to get rid of the photo? This is assuming the photo is clean (non-nude), of course.

Technically, is not legal to take a person's picture if the picture identifies the person. ie: you can tell it is them in the picture. If the face is blurred or it is the backside of a person it is OK and legal.
Now, if that person grants you the rights to their immage it is OK. Obviously, if they prohibit you from taking/using the picture, they do not grant rights of usage.
This is because a person's image is technically their coppyright.
or at least these are the guidelines that I follow...
