The latter is no good. Your choice: Thanks for your help or Thank you for your help.

Thanks for your help. - Correct.
Thank for your help. - Not correct.

You use 'thanks' by itself.
You use 'thank' with 'you': 'thank you'.

Thanks for your help. - Correct.
Thank you for your help.
- Correct.

Thanks for your help. - Correct.

There is no subject in this sentence? If I consider, I as a subject then the verb supposed to be "thank", but why it has "thanks"?

The subject (now almost forgotten) is 'I' originally, I think. An excerpt from the Online Etymological Dictionary:

"likely to not be rewarded with thanks" is from c.1547. 'Thank you' is attested from c.1400, short for I thank you.

Thanks, I guess, is a short form of thank you's. I thank you -- I offer thank-you's-- I offer thanks-- thanks ?

Hi Dear;

Answering your query

the difference between Thank and thanks is:
thank / thank you = a conversational expression of gratitude, give thanks to
To hold responsible for something.

    Example: has only himself to thank for the mess
