2. Sounds daft, but am I right in assuming I dont need very deep
containers/ troughs for the peas and dwarf beans? Also, do I need
stakes in whilst seedlings or do I just add as they get bigger?

My first gardening year, I planted my peas and beans in 6" deep troughs.
I got a pretty good pea harvest but the slugs ate all my beans. They ate
all my beans last year too and this year I'm going to buy nematodes, and
grow climbing beans instead. Peas don't seem to need deep roots. I added
my stakes as the peas came up, rather than straight away, and did okay.

You can grow climbing French beans and runner beans in tubs - you'll
need some long canes but the flowers are pretty. I'm planning on having
a tub of each by the front door and a tub or two of each in the back
garden. If I get lots of beans I won't mind if people nick 'em, and if I
don't, there won't be any to steal!

USE IRON PHOSPHATE BAIT

I tried that last year. To no avail.
