1. I suppose if you have all necessary supporting documents you will probably get a visa in no time....

Perhaps you can start schedule an appointment online, to be sure that you will get your application processed in time. I really have no idea how long it will take.

2. As for your husband, switching from student to dependent visa, he does not have to leave the UK, this can be done in the UK after you get back from Thailand with a student visa.

There is really no need for him to accompany you back to Thailand since his visa remains valid till January 09. During that time he can work and earn some pocket money till you get back.
You will save some money on his flight ticket which you can use instead on his visa extension fee here in the UK.

There is another option for your husband to also consider. Instead of switching into dependent route, why not consider "Post Study" visa. It will be better off for both him and you, in case your student visa fails then you have a chance to become his dependant.

Refusal of leave to enter or remain as the spouse or civil partner of a student or prospective student
78. Leave to enter or remain as the spouse or civil partner of a student or prospective student is to be refused if the Immigration Officer or, in the case of an application for limited leave to remain, the Secretary of State is not satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 76 is met.

3. you do not have to do that if you follow my advice in #2.

4. as 3. Consider this, when your husband completes his studies in September and leave the UK, his student visa automatically becomes invalid.

I wish you and your husband all the best.
