Do you recommend cycling TA? (Either 4 weeks on/1 week off, OR 5 days on/2 days off?)
Also, does TA cause hair thinning or hair loss? -- if so, what should one take with TA to avoid this?

Sure, cycling is a good idea. 5 on/2 off is a good place to start. I recommend taking tongkat with cistanche and EGCG. Tongkat ali can increase DHT a bit, which could thin hair for those susceptible to it. Taking EGCG with it ameliorates the negative effects of DHT by altering the miRNA expression profile in human DPCs.

I take our 45% EGCG green tea tablets every day with tongkat and cistanche.
