This would depend on the insurance that you took out with your car rental company. Check the contract that you signed. Often there is a Damage Waiver and a Theft Waiver. Usually the theft waiver is double that of the damage.
You will need either a credit card or a very large cash deposit. The renter will charge your credit card for any damages or other charges incidentally.
In the United States, most rental car places do not require a cash deposit - unless your history with them is dismal. Rental car companies prefer having a credit card number on file - this allows them to add additional charges to your bill if you don't adhere to the contract you signed. For instance, if the car comes back dinged or dented, the rental car company can charge the repair cost to your credit card number. If you refuse to pay, that's between you and the credit card company - the rental car company will be paid by the credit card company unless you protest the charge as fradulent.
If you don't have a credit card you'll be required to pay a deposit. If you use a credit card they may charge your credit card for a deposit. Typically this is the estimated rental costs plus 15 %. Once the car is returned in proper condition the charge is removed from your credit card. Like most all other rental agencies, yes they do. The benefit to this is that Thrifty will not charge your credit card the deposit, they simple have the deposit amount on file, and your credit information if they have reason to charge the deposit they will other wise when you return the vehicle in the condition it was rented out in you will not even be charged the deposit.
technically if your card has been canceled than the charge should have never been allowed from the credit card comany. If there is a charge after it was suppose to be closed than you may want to look into weather or not the credit card has really been canceled.
Notify them that the credit card was stolen to the credit card company and dispute all the charges on the credit card. You would also have to file a police report if the credit card was stolen. The credit card company must investigate the charges.

Both Visa and MasterCard dictate that the cardholder has zero liability when a Visa or MasterCard are stolen. Some states allow banks to charge the cardholder up to $50 when their card is stolen and used. If you go to your bank/call you credit card company they should be able to tell you the steps you need to take to dispute any unauthorized charges. As long as you report you card stolen and file a dispute with your credit card company you should be zero percent liable.
Prehaps. This is a contest of wills. The winner will be the one who is most persistent. If you are aggressive in disputing the charge the charge will probably be invalidated. This does not necessarily mean the rental place will not still try to collect.
yes they do if the credit card is stolen they will track it as soon as reported stolen
You are fully responsible for any loss or damage to a rental car. If you do not have insurance to cover this or have not purchased insurance from the car rental company, they will go after you for the full cost of the rental vehicle.
No the physical card is not required to charge to your credit card account. All they need is the credit card number and back code. So yes they can charge things to your card.
