Tornadoes often form in a type of cumulonimbus cloud called a wall cloud. Look up what a cumulonimbus cloud looks like on Google images.
A thunder cloud, or Cumulonimbus cloud, looks like a massive, tall, white puffy cloud with an anvil shaped top and a very dark grey base.
Nope, but they can come from Cumulonimbus clouds, which are the same clouds that produce thunder and lightning. See the link below for a picture of what they look like.
A cumulonimbus cloud normally looks very tall and can stretch for miles. They tend to have a flat base.Most commonly seen in hot climates (Florida for example) where the water from the coast has evaporated and by the end of each day, the cumulonimbus clouds form and may have a downpour for several hours. This type of cloud is becoming increasingly common across the UK in the summertime.

An anvil head cloud is called a cumulonimbus or a very well developed anvil shape is a cumulonimbus incus. These clouds are usually associated with severe thunderstorms and possibly tornadoes.
It is known by several terms: Cumulonimbus, Thunderhead, Anvil cloud.

cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds...
Nimbostratus is a thick cloud, typically formed on a warm front, as air is lifted over a large area (i.e. mass ascent). Precipitation is rain or snow (or a mix of both), and this can last for several hours.A cumulonimbus is formed by convection and is much taller than it is wide. Cumulonimbus clouds bring heavy showersof rain or snow, but they also bring thunder and lightning and hail. The showers will usually last for less than one hour.Finally, if you look at the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud, you may see dark pouches (called mammatus) hanging down. These are caused by air currents trying to fall to the ground.You won't see mammatus under Nimbostratus, nor will you get thunder and lightning or hail. Thunderstorms = Cumulonimbus.
