Facebook agreed to not share WhatsApp data with other products as part of the agreement that gave them the EU regulator's permission to take over WhatsApp. If they shared data, it would have been a breach of that agreement.

What would happen if the regulator finds you breach a predicament for a merge or acquisition?

Could, for example, Facebook be forced to sell WhatsApp (in the EU)?

They will most probably get a slap on the wrist in form of a fine.

Those are data-protection fines.

AFAIK, Giving OK to Facebook buying WhatsApp was mostly an Antitrust issue.

No, that is the wrong list of fines.

They have shared data. I believe it was even acknowledged publicly (and especially now, with the “the tos change actually reflects practices”).

They’re ignoring GDPR and a variety of other laws; why would this agreement be different?

Because EU anti-trust violations give way bigger fines than GDPR violations.
