If it's a new enclosure it's normal. My pulchra did the same for about two weeks until she aclimates to the new enclosure. It look like your substrate is too dry, did you wet it a little bit before putting it in the terrarium?
Regarding the mesh, is a must to do. I found my pulchra twice hanging from her tarsal claw, or trying to make a hole...
The size is fine, may be I will add a little bit of verticality, this way the T will have different spots with different values of humidity and temperature. Less substrate at front and more back, burrowing his hide for example.
This is my Geniculata enclosure. The left side is the thinnest part, with her basking zone (heated pebbles). The left side is more tall, with plants, giving her two spots, one with heat and the other more cold and humid. This way I can see my tarantula moving aroung finding her perfect spot.
