If Aliens visit us, they will likely classify us as "Non thinking creatures", just as we classify plants as non thinking. Everything rests on a spectrum and trying to classify everything into bins as "thinking" or "non thinking" is a childish way to go about explaining how the world works.
If you generate a 200 hz signal around the root systems of cabbage, the roots will grow toward the source. The plants can generate that signal as well, so yes, certain plants communicate with a very rudimentary audio communication system.
Do plants think? It depends on your definition, but yes, Plants think, computers think, humans think. A better word might be "plants calculate the best course of action to achieve a goal just like humans do.".

We obviously manipulate our environment in complex ways. > "plants calculate the best course of action to achieve a goal just like humans do.". If you truly believed this you could never justify eating them.
