The tick (‘) is for a sound like soundless “a” or a stop just to make closer to the real sound which doesn’t exist in English.
The “th” is sometimes pronounced as “th of that” and sometimes as “th of think”, I usually state how you should pronounce it.
There is a sharp “h” that is different from the regular “h”, however a person can be understood even if it’s pronounced as a regular “h”.
