Inspired by Robert Israel's answer: Consider the generating function of the double-indexed array $(a_{m,n})$: \begin{equation} P(s,t):=\sum_{m,n\ge0}a_{m,n}s^m t^n=\sum_{m,n\ge1}a_{m,n}s^m t^n =\sum_{m,n\ge1}\Big(1 + \frac{a_{m,n-1}+a_{m-1,n}}{2}\Big)s^m t^n =\frac{st}{(1-s)(1-t)}+\frac{s+t}2\,P(s,t), \end{equation} whence \begin{align} P(s,t)&=\frac{st}{(1-s)(1-t)}\frac1{1-\frac{s+t}2} \\ &=\sum_{m,n\ge1}s^mt^n\sum_{k\ge0}\Big(\frac{s+t}2\Big)^k \\ &=\sum_{m,n\ge1}s^mt^n\sum_{k\ge0}\Big(\frac12\Big)^k \sum_{j=0}^k\binom kj s^j t^{k-j}\\ &=\sum_{p,q\ge1}s^pt^q\sum_{j=0}^{p-1}\sum_{k=j}^{q-1+j}\Big(\frac12\Big)^k \binom kj \end{align} for $s,t$ in $(-1,1)$, so that \begin{equation} a_{p,q}=\sum_{j=0}^{p-1}\sum_{k=j}^{q-1+j}\Big(\frac12\Big)^k \binom kj \end{equation} for natural $p,q$.
