I (1) want to thank you (2) on behalf of all the people (3) on this forum for your help. Did I use 'on behalf' correctly?

What would it mean if I switched 'I and can' in the previous sentence, eg, please tell me how can I use it. would it be just plain wrong? Are there instances where it can be used? Please advise?

Yes. If you pay close attention to my numbering 'system', it's—

I (1) want to thank you (3) on behalf of all the people (2) on this forum for your help.

Got it teacher! Thank you very much for your help. I think the right way to use 'I can' in a sentence, which you just explained, is called the indirect question (or asking for something) type of writing. Right?

If I am having a conversation with someone and I just wasn't sure what they were talking about, is this the right way of replying back:

I am not sure what 'you are talking about or are you talking about'.

Also, when speaking of something:
I am have not idea what 'it is about or is it about'.

I think that the first option for both sentences are the correct ones. Am I
