And I would assume "Thinker" is Raoden, since the name and description appear to fit him.

I dunno, for this to be true, Raoden would be very very pale (i.e. completely white) which I think would have been something of note that would have been mentioned. IIRC, Ishikk DID mention they were all pale, but just sort of off handedly, making it sound like they were "pale from not much sun exposure" not "albino pale"
Well, it's possible that being insanely far from Elantris would mean he wouldn't be albino anymore. Bear in mind that in the book, the Aons were weakened when he got further from Elantris, so it wouldn't surprise me if the other aspects of being an Elantrian were similarly dampened.

I will admit I'm a lot less sure on Raoden and Dashe (I think that was his name). But it seems a lot more likely that Grumpy is Galladon, given his resemblance to the character and, most tellingly, his use of the Dula language.

I looked around a bit, but couldn't find anyone else who had noticed this. Either means I'm seeing things that aren't there, or that I'm more observant than everyone else. Either one is possible.

In the first interlude (with Ishikk, the fisherman), I noticed that the strangers looking for Hoid seem a lot like the characters from Elantris. Grumpy is "thick limbed" and "completely bald", Blunt is "taller", and from the description is built like a soldier. These two are dark-skinned. To me, Grumpy sounds a LOT like Galladon. Most tellingly, his last words in the interlude are Alavanta kamaloo kayana. And "kayana" is a word that Galladon uses in Elantris (if I remember correctly, it meant "crazy"). Blunt might be the soldier Elantrian (his name escapes me at the moment, and I don't have my copy of the book on hand to look it up).
