For 3D views, if you use a section box and if the section box cuts the topography, it will then have thickness.

You can split a topo face and assign different materials like grass / water / earth / asphalt.....

You can also draw subregions.  subregions allow you to draw regions that you can select and give different materials to.  The upside for subregions is that it doesn't make separate toposurfaces, and changes to your topo won't leave gaps and holes.

No, not really.  Revit hatches in earth below toposurfaces, down infinitely. 

Often in a section it's easier to draw your cut topo as a filled region rather than fuss with the actual topography.
