I totally agree with your assessment. There is nothing wrong with using a "like" button displaying a truncated "like" list and it will eliminate all of the +1 posts by implementing this feature.
IMHO, using "Thanks" instead of "like" is simply a matter of personal taste and there is nothing wrong with the description "like".
