Israel has a strict policy of bringing every soldier home safely (either alive or in a body bag). Hezbollah thought they could antagonize Israel a little by kidnapping two soldiers, Regev and Goldwasser, on the Lebanese border, thinking Israel would not actually fight for them. They were wrong and the Lebanese civilians paid the price for supporting and housing such belligerents.

No. Lebanon is on Israel's northern border or Israel is on Lebanon's southern border. There are areas of Israel that are further north of some areas of Lebanon. But this is similar to how some areas of Mexico are north of some places in the US, and some areas in Canada are south of some places in the US. Similarly, the border between Lebanon and Israel is uneven, and does not follow a line of constant latitude.
