Where is the crust thickest?
Continental crust
Where is the crust deepest?
Deepest doesn't really make sense, so I'm going to answer assuming you meant thickest. Oceanic crust or continental crust? Oceanic crust is thickest at spreading centers and continental crust is deepest at collision zones, the Himalayan/Tibet collision zone to be exact.

The crust is the thickest under mountain ranges, up to 70 miles. Average depth of continental crust is 27 miles.

Why is continental crust thickest at collision boundaries?
1. One of the plates dives under the other so you have two thickness's of crust material on top of each other.
