If it's a thump, it could be your mount. If it's more of a clicking it could be your cv joint.

Might be the bearings when under load.

It's probably a bad inner CV joint. Replace the axle and you will be good to go. I just swapped my left axle to get rid of some "loose gear" noise and I ended up with vibration under acceleration, which is an indication of a bad or worn inner joint. So, I swapped it again and all is well.

Normally bearings make the same noise no matter which way you have the wheel turned. It only varies based on speed.

Sure, that's possible. I'd start by swapping the left front first, since it's the reason why you posted in the first place.
