At least as far as we know. You are probably thinking of his rival Barthanes Damodred.
As for the rest, it's all really circumstantial stuff. On the other hand, Thom helped major Light Side characters numerous times. It's possible, but way, way unlikely. Why would a Darkfriend go to save Moiraine, and help Rand, Nynaeve and Elayne?
Nothing strange about the fact that Thom knew Fain. He was a gleeman working in the similar area as Fain did, chances are they've met in some villages before.

Depends. Are you the type who laughs at silliness or the type who bursts blood vessels? *NM*
