ACI 318-05 Equation 10-14
(OP)
Quick question: In this equation "M2,min = Pu*(0.6+0.03h)", does "h" refer to thickness or height? According to the glossary, it could be either! It is frustrating that a code would use the same symbol for thickness and height.

I guess it could be confusing, but the reason h is defined as such, is that it is also considered the height (read "depth") of the member when referring to flexural members.
In all cases, it is always a measure of one of the cross-sectional dimensions, not a "length", per se.
