1. Have forgotton or forgot.
2. OK
You have a typo on 3. It's been quiet here.

I suppose John's suggest is more likely to be used. I can think of situations when I might say a Thursday in this context, but if you omitted the a you would never be wrong.

Thanks Dave.
Do the following sentences convey the same meaning?

2. Isn’t today a Thursday?
2a. Isn’t today Thursday?
2b. Isn't it Thursday today?

Also,in #1, I thought 'must have' in the first clause also applies to 'forgotten' .
1. I think what I must

They have the same meaning but may used differently.
2 - Something happens on Thursdays as a routine and either hasn't happened or someone is talking about the routine that happens on Thursdays but not as though it is happening today.
2a+b - Somebody acts like it isn't Thursday or says that its a different day. Or you believe it to be Thursday and get corrected.

In all situations
