I have never personally experienced having no thoughts at all for any prolonged period of time but i have become much more aware of the thoughts that are coming and going. More aware means more conscious which is what I aim for. Actually having no thoughts at all and a totally clear mind is very advanced imho. The clearer the bette though so keep trying. You need to get in the gaps and sense yourself as the awareness in the gaps.
I'm not really qualified to help on the other points.
