Answer 1

Given default Sharing Mode of All Threads in the CSV Data Set Config JMeter will read the next line on each iteration of each virtual user.

So just make sure that:

1. Recycle on EOF is set to True and Stop thread on EOF is set to False

   

2. The number of users multiplied by the Loop Count in the Thread Group is equal to 2000

   

In general ideally if you need to mimic 2000 users you should have 2000 credentials so it worth checking whether it's possible to generate 1980 more test accounts.
