That yellow bulb is the remnants of the large flower I had. Am I correct in assuming that is the fruit? It's a slow grower if it is.

Yeah that's definitely a dragon fruit cactus (pitaya), but they need proper pollination to fruit - most varieties require cross-pollination at night when the flowers open, and if you're growing indoors or don't have the right pollinators around, you'll get flowers but no fruit unles you hand-pollinate with a small brush when the flowers are open.
