Given an ellipse $C$: $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}} + \frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1 (a > b > 0)$ with a focal length of $4\sqrt{2}$ and a minor semi-axis length of $2$. A line $l$ passes through point $P(-2, 1)$ with a slope of $1$ and intersects the ellipse $C$ at points $A$ and $B$.

(I) Find the standard equation of the ellipse $C$.

(II) Find the length of chord $AB$.
