Building my first raise bed... on brick patio

My wife wants to build a raise bed on brick patio. She wants to plant everything from watermelon, tomato, beans and eggplants. (not be everything at once, but those are the stuff she may put in)

We have a space for about 4 feet by 4 feet, I am wondering if the following would work:

- Built from pressure treated wood
- Weed fabric at the bottom
- Divided in 2 sections, one 4x2 at 3 feet deep, one 4x2 at 2 feet deep

My questions:

1) Would what I described work?
2) Would it be better to leave tomato out of the raise bed, and put them in container instead? I heard they can grow to pretty big
3) Do you need to fully divide the higher bed and lower bed? Or it doesn't matter?

Thanks in advance
