"interview follow up"
or "additional information" and then tell them something you may or may not have mentioned to strengthen your application, in that same e-mail, say thank you.

Thank You or Thank you for your time is just fine.
Follow up with snail mail too. That extra personal step is good.
In both, briefly (as in a few sentences or less) recap what you spoke about and why you'd be a good fit. I actually use 7 1/4 x 10 1/2 off white heavy bond paper for the hard copy letter. It forces me to be succinct, and it appears a bit more personal than 8.5x11 white.

Different or same person? I think there's a very slim chance it would do any harm.

always send some sort of note to everyone you talk to, even if it is the same guy. it can be short & sweet. Hey, good to talk to you again today. I thought the convo went well and I trust you did too. I'm really excited about the position. I was really interested in <fill in some crap you talked about – but not something that sounds self centered like the lack of drug testing or liberal vacation plan - to prove you paid attention and this is not a canned response>. I hope to hear from you soon concerning the next step. . On subsequent visits email only is fine. I'd always get that hard copy thank you out to anyone you talk to that day. even the hr lady, any one you sit and talk to.

I dunno, I've NEVER sent a thank you note after an interview, whether by email or snail mail. I've never called to thank them after an interview either. And yet, I've been offered just about every job I interviewed for. Maybe it's different since I was never really in the business world, but in academics, retail, service, seasonal, etc, never ever sent a thank you letter.

In this market anything to differentiate yourself from the other candidates, in a good way, is paramount. I don't know how academics works (my experience education is a whole different world), but in the business world personal touch can (meaning not always) go a long way. And it costs very little in time and effort. List it under can only help. Assuming you don't screw it up like not proof reading, etc..

A thank you note shows you are a good communicator and that you are professional. Send anyone you interview with a thank you letter once if you are hoping to get the job. If you interview with them twice it is not necessary and can make you look too desperate.
