Would rather that?(Q)

I would rather that you died in a bottomless pit.

1) Is this sentence grammatically correct?
2) Does it mean, I am preferring "something" for "someone else" in future?

Please explain me. Thanks.

I'm just weighing in here so I can get notification when it is answered, so I can see someone else's comment about the verb form [ died ]. But yes, your interpretation in 2) is correct.
