One mistake there in the deposit address and how it actually works.  Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but the deposit addresses are hot wallets for the exchange.  Even though a deposit address is unique to an individual, the funds are transferred off into other wallets from that address.  So if you deposit 5 btc to address x, and then proceed to send 2 btc to another address, the source of the transfer most likely won't be address x, but another hot wallet.  I believe most exchanges operate this way.  When someone else from the exchange sends 5 btc, it may actually come from your deposit address. 

Someone please double check I'm posting the correct information.  Please expand also if needed.

Can someone confirm this is how the deposit addresses work?

Yes, that's how it works.  Supposedly for security reasons.
