I totally disagree with Rudy regarding e-mail. E-mail is definately NOT the way to go. It makes the interviewee look lazy. As someone who hires, I don't mind getting resumes via e-mail, but I really hate when the people I interview send me a thank you by e-mail. It's about as tacky as getting an e-mail birthday card. Shows no thought and effort... and leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth for the person who I interviewed. Makes me think he or she will be lazy on the job.
If at all possible, I would recommend you follow up your e-mail thank you with a snail mail thank you.
As far as questions... the best thing to do is to research the company and ask a few general facts about it. Such as, "I heard xxxx Enterprises is expanding to Europe. What is the long term growth plan for the company?" or xxxx Enterprises is adding a new product. How else is the company changing?" or "I read about xxx Enterprises in the news and see that the company is changing its advertising agency. How will that effect it's marketing plan?" The questions you ask depend on what you find out about the company.
It shows you were interested enough in the company to check them out. A little googling goes a long way!
