Correct.

The depth should make no difference to your answer otherwise the
problem is not 1D so you should be using a 2D mesh anyway.

Just build it explicitly into the expression for the source term.
There is no need for a 2D grid. If you must have depth then just use a
2D grid with 1 grid cell. It is basically the same as using a 1D grid.

Hope this helps.
