It seems quite likely that you are suffering from some sort of fungal infection, which is causing both the dandruff and the excessive loss of hair. There are a number of possible causes of baldness, and the same goes for dandruff - in fact, dandruff is usually the result of abnormal amounts of sebum (an oily, protective substance that is naturally produced by the skin). However, fungal infections of the scalp are among the possible causes of both these problems, and since both of them seem to have developed together, this seems quite likely to be the case.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to come up with a certain diagnosis in such a forum, and you will need to visit a doctor for this. A physical examination will be needed, and possibly a few tests too, in order to detect the presence of a fungal infection. If you want, you can first try using an anti dandruff shampoo that is available over the counter. These shampoos are very effective, and are usually more reliable than home remedies if used consistently and regularly. You will need to use the shampoo for at least two weeks in order to make out whether it is working or not. Different shampoos have a different ingredient that work differently, and if the first one you try doesn't work; you may want to switch to a new product for another two weeks. One home remedy that is sometimes effective is tea tree oil, which has strong anti fungal properties. You should apply the oil at night before going to bed, and wash it off in the morning with your regular shampoo. Make sure that you do this daily for at least two weeks.
There is nothing that can be done in order to actually regrow hair. Once the cause of the hair loss has been addressed, your hair will grow back naturally, without needing to be coaxed. As for your hair being thin, this is probably just genetic, but you can wait and see if your hair becomes thicker once the fungal infection (or whatever other problem is causing the hair loss and dandruff) has been treated. It is quite likely to improve marginally, but there will be no drastic change in the basic nature of your hair. At the most, a volumizing shampoo and conditioner will help a bit. There are many such products available today, and you will simply need to find one that suits your specific hair type through trial and error.
