1. if source port is switchport access vlan x, should the destination port follow exactly?
No- the destination port cannot be a source port, its either one or the other and it also becomes a monitor port as such it isn't an access port or trunk, stp is disabled to

2. if source is mode trunk, destination port settings should follow?
No - again it becomes a monitor port , as long as its capable of carrying traffic from multple vlans sourced from the trunk, hence when you want to span a trunk, Best to create a new connection and just allow only those vlans you wish to capture over that trunk and also within the span session.
example:
interface x/x
description span session 1 to destination port x/y
switchport trunk allowed vlan a, b, c, d-f
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
monitor session 1 source vlan a, b, c, d-f
monitor session 1 destination interface x/y
