Though/although

Do 'though' and 'although' have the same meaning at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence? Thanks.

I would say so, although there is an exception and that is when though follows the word 'as', as in 'the sea was black, as though it were ink' You could not use although in that sentence.

Yes, when they are introducing adjuncts, "although" and "though" are alternants, the latter slightly more informal.

Another exception is when though is an adverb.

I'm not feeling well today, though.
*I'm not feeling well today, although.

Shouldn't there be a sentence before the one you've written so I can use 'though'? As in: It's so sunny today. I'm not feeling well, though.

Does the word 'though' have the same meaning as 'but' at the beginning of a sentence? As in: You're very bad at this. You'll get better someday, though. = But you'll
