No, '{谢谢|xièxie}' is usually a verb or interjection. Use the noun '{感谢|gǎnxiè}' with the verb '{表达|biǎodá}'.

Only if they did something truly monumental. Otherwise, it sounds like you're treating them like a business partner!

They are often interchangeable with '{感谢|gǎnxiè}', but '{表达|biǎodá}' feels more like 'conveying a deep feeling', while '{表示|biǎoshì}' feels more like 'making a gesture'.

Add '{谨|jǐn}' (sincerely/respectfully) before '{向|xiàng}': '{我谨向您表达感谢|wǒ jǐn xiàng nín biǎodá gǎnxiè}'.
