If we expand #1, would it be "I suppose/think/hope he is not the captain of our team" or would it be "I do not suppose/think/hope that he the captain of our team" ?

We also come across sentences like "Does the oppression deepen the resistance ? I think yes"

In this sentence should we have used "I think so" instead of "I think yes" ?

I suppose not is the one you want to use.
