"depth" on the left border maybe, but certainly not on the right. To me, the focus clearly seems to be in the image center, so the wall of the building pointing towards the photographer. That means that none of the corners and nothing on the right side of the image is near the focal plane. On the left, maybe, yes. Judging from that image, I'd assume a curved image field bent backwrads towards the corners.
Same for the second image you posted.

Not necessarily, no. It's the maximum resolution the lens can deliver at a given spot, which requires it to be in focus (in that spot).
