Q: Is this a full tang knife?

Yes, full tang and I believe 1/4" at the thickest. And this thickness extends forward as more or less a spine towards the point. Very strong knife. Note that this is more of a piercing blade as opposed to chopping etc.

Q: would this preform decently as a survival knife, i know its not perfect design for it but can it hold up to batoninf skinning etc

On a scale 1 to 10, Survival Knife, 10. Skinning big game, 7. fighting knife a strong, 10. This is my personal opinion. I will never go back in the swamp with out it!!!

Q: I bought a Tops USMC fighting knife. The blade is so thick it can not get a razor edge. Is this blade Xtra thick to the edge and hard to sharpen?

I don't know how blade thickness has anything to do with edge sharpness. A thin blade can be just as dull as a thick blade and a thick blade can be just as sharp as a thin blade. I've had cheaper knives of the same make and model where one would take an edge very well and the other won't. I'm guessing it has to do with the inconsistency in the heat treating. Perhaps the person at the factory didn't as good a job in honing the knife, but TOPS makes quality knives so that would be a surprise. I usually use Japanese ceramic stones to sharpen my knives and edged tools for woodworking. Some cheap knives can to all the way up to the 8000 grit stone (yes, overkill for a knife, but a good test to check metal hardness) and some knives won't go past the 4000 grit stone or even the 1000 grit stone depending on the hardness of the metal. I have a cheap MTech knife that I was having a hard time getting a decent edge on. Pretty thick blade too 1/4". I spent some time using the Smith's PP1 sharpener (http://www.amazon.com/Smiths-PP1-Pocket-Multifunction-Sharpener/dp/B000O8OTNC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449330468&sr=8-1&keywords=pp1+knife+sharpener) and it's getting a good edge now. Reestablish the edge using the coarse side.

Q: What is the blade thickness of this knife?

The Wild Pig Hunter blade thickness is 0.250 inches.
