Answer

Thought is a noun, but thinking is a verb, a doing word.
You can have a thought,
But you can't have a "thinking"

Answer

"As nouns, do thought and thinking have the same meaning?"

A thought is an idea. Thinking is the action of the verb "think" in a noun form. It's a process.  Remember that gerund forms always come straight from actions (obviously).
