내가 생각하기에 그것은 너무 작아요. and 나도 그렇게 생각해요
가 is more the subject particle, and the topic is not 나 but 그것. Because in the sentence they're saying that 'that thing', in his mind, is small.
You could replace 내가 with 나는, but it would change the tone of the sentence a bit, and you would have to change the sentence a bit.
나는 그것이 너무 작다고 생각해요
-I think that that thing is too small - the emphasis is more on the person, the '나'
내가 생각하기에 그것은 너무 작아요
In this sentence the emphasis is more on the '그것' being small and less about the speaker thinking that it is small.
As Amber said above, using 나는 in the second sentence, would imply that you are going to have a contrasting idea to the speaker. If the speaker is agree with what has already been said, then it is more natural saying 도, which as you guessed, means too. So by saying this you're saying 'I also think the same'.

This is a really good question, but I don't know how to explain.
1) '나' is used mainly as a subject in a sentence. '내' seems like being used for conditional sentences with 'if' or 'when'. the first sentence's subject is not 'myself' but it (그것).
2) Yes, '가' is a topic particle.
3) No, you cannot. As I said already, 내가 생각하기에 is not a main sentence, it's acting like 'when'.
When I think, it's too small or In my opinion, it's too small.
The main sentence starts from it.
4) Yes.
5) if you use '나는' in the second sentence, it should have a different opinion against the first sentence .
For example, 나는 그렇게 생각하지 않아요.
