Assassins are not mass murderers. If an assassin kills a lot of people they are doing it wrong. How many people they kill will depend on how long they are active. I would say that one or two kills a year would be the average for someone like Thane.
Wheras Morinth likes to use her powers to mentally enslave an entire village so she can killf*ck whoever she wants whenever she wants. She is as bad as the Reapers.
Big difference.
Thane doesn't indiscriminately kill for pleasure.
At the Dantius Towers when going to recruit him he obviously didn't just go in, guns blazing (which he calls Shepard out for). He has a specific target. Only when Nasaana's mercs start getting in his way, which is twice (once in the vent shaft and again in Nassana's office) does he kill them. He even goes so far to lock up the Salarians that Nassana orders her mercs to slaughter to keep them safe. If he truly was a mass murderer he wouldn't have cared about the collateral damage.
Being responsible for his actions is left to your interpretation. Thane prays for himself
now because he is disconnected. The only lives he feels responsible for taking were the lives of the Batarians that killed his wife. To him, those lives, no matter how worthless they were, will always be on his soul because he acted out of revenge. You can even tell him that by his own moral code he can't take responsiblity for killing them. He acknowledges that, but ultimately he will always feel personally resonsible for killing them. If he was truly a heartless bastard who killed just for fun he could have easily dismissed his actions and said, "You're right, Shep! Let's get on wit' a killins!"
Morinth on the other hand is a hot blooded killer, a predator. She delights and revels in killing her victims. She has no qualms about taking lives and in fact enjoys it, it gives her pleasure. Samara tells you that she was given the choice to live in seclusion and she refused, meaning she is addicted to the feeling she gets when killing people. The more she does it, the more she needs and wants to do it. Morinth knows how to spin her web and trap her prey and if lives are lost along the way, all the better because she gets off on that sort of thing.
If you truly see Thane and Morinth in the same light, then my suggestion would be to play through the game again and pay attention to the dialogue.
