"this" is like これ or この depending on whether it's used on its own, or with another noun. It's basically using the implied topic as the subject. Note this means in your first example "I like a song. This is very nice", "this" is ambiguous over whether "this" is "the song" or "liking a song", so a native speaker wouldn't use it here. "this" gives more of a feeling of pointing to something, or of excluding other options, so it's used less with abstract concepts like songs (but it is used sometimes).
"the" is what's called an article. It's used to make it clear that you're talking about an individual thing, rather than like the concept of song in general. "the song" means whatever song the current context is talking about. It's an alternative to "a" - when you're talking about a specific, already introduced song you'd use "the song", but if you're about to mention a song for the first time, you'd use "a song".
This does mean there are sentences where both "this" and "the" are acceptable, but usually native speakers would have a clear preference for one over the other depending on the situation.

You'd have to rewrite the sentence to add "thing" here, but you don't need it at all
For example, let's say I like a song. For example, let's say I like a song.
Adding "let's say" is a very idiomatic way to introduce a hypothetical scenario

This is a really common question, you are not alone! For this scenario about a song, it depends. Imagine the song is currently playing, and you are with a friend. It would make sense to say "this" because it is totally clear you are talking about the song currently playing. If you instead said "the song," I would still assume you mean the song currently playing, but it's less explicit.
I like to describe "this" vs "the" as imagining you can physically point to the object in question, like the person you are speaking to can see it. If I am holding a shirt I just bought and showing it to my friend, I would say, "do you like this shirt?" But imagine instead I went to the store that day with the friend and we spoke about a shirt we saw earlier in the store, I might say, "I liked the shirt at the store but I didn't buy it." Here, I don't use "this" because it's no longer physically present. I hope that helps!

It's a very difficult thing.
You don't always need to use a noun in English. We use just "it" or "they" a lot.
Eg. "I got in trouble. It's so unfair." -> what is "it"? 何々。"It" is whatever we're talking about!
For example, I like a song.
This is very nice!
or
The song is very nice!

"This" is better in your example. It's hard to understand grammar that isn't used in your native language! I'll try to explain.
"The" = あなたと会話の相手も物を知っています。例えば、有名な物や、会話にもう言った物や、あなた達がよく知っている物などです。又は、世界である物は一つだけがあれば、"the"は正しいです。
Eg.
"I bought a t-shirt with the Mona Lisa on it." (モナ・リザの写しがあるTシャツを買いました)
"Let's meet at the park." (よく行く公園に会いましょう)
"The president came to our school." (私達の国の唯一の首相は学校へ行きました)
>"I made a cake yesterday. I brought some of the cake for you." (昨日ケーキを作りました。[まだ言ったケーキの] 部分を持って来てあげました)
"This" = この。「指で指せる物」の感じです。
Eg. "This book is hard to read." (今本を読んでいるか握っている人は「この本は読みにくいです」と言います)
"I wrote this sentence on this website at 1am." (今書いている人か自分の前書いた文を今見ている人は「午前1時にこのサイトでこの文を書いました」と言います)
I hope this makes sense. If you have other questions, let me know. よく英語を読んだら、自動にこんなことを分かり始めます。教科書を諳んじるより、簡単な漫画や子供の絵本を読んだらいいです!頑張ってね!
