Very interesting essay! Hamas would certainly find it galling to realize that, not only in their religious doctrines, but even in their terror strategies, they are merely copying the Jews. Who would've thought... lol

Were the Thugs and the Assassins actual, well-defined groups? If so, in which language were they called that? How long did the “Thugs“ exist?

No, they were not actual groups, rather nicknames given by Rapoport for different types of terrorists who displayed similar attributes.
