Even a cap poured over existing concrete needs to be at least 3". In my experience, you have always "over engineer" things, so that when the normal tolerence is exceeded, the item will out-do the norm. (I'm a tool designer. I always design something to take more than it needs to.) I'm sure there is no difference with concrete.

So nice of you

You don't want to use a carpenter's square for the framing. 2x4s, etch are never straight, so even if your corners are square, the rest won't be. Use a string line when staking the boards to make sure they are staked straight. Use the 3,4,5 method and measure corner to corner to make sure they are square. Remember that if you have warped wood, straightening it out as you stake it will change it's overall length, so it's a good idea to check for square as you go.

If you guys are trying to estimate how many bags you need you have to work out your volume. In this case 8ft x10ft x 3.5”(.3ft) = 24 cubic feet. Concrete weighs about 150pounds per cubic foot. 24 x 150 = 3600pounds. Devide by weight of your bag. 60 pound bags equal 60bags.

Use a slab screen like they use in driveways they are made with heavy steel wire and about 4 inches square openings. Re bar is over kill on a small slab.

Google "concrete calculator"

Why don't you guys ever use a cart away trailer? It'd be perfect for these small jobs. Great job btw, Tim.
