No : Suicidal thoughts are thoughts of killing self. Thoughts of others killing you are paranoid thoughts.

No, but: In both cases the thoughts reflect an underling issue that deserves evaluation and treatment by a mental health professional.

No: Not exactly the same, but both are very dangerous states of mind, for obvious reasons..

Paranoia: They way this question is framed, it sounds more like paranoia than anything else.
