Answer

"Thanks"- for casual usage
"Thank you" - for formal usage

Answer

"Thank you" is much more professional then the casual "Thanks", I think also "Thank You" gets the point across how thankful you truly are.
It depends on your relationship with someone. 
If you have a very professional relationship, then you should say "thank you". But if you have casual relationship, "thanks" is just fine.

Answer

They mean the same thing and are interchangeable.  However, "Thank you" sounds slightly more formal.

Answer

"Thanks" is the simpler version of "thank you".

Answer

Hi... Don't worry the meaning is the same...
