Answer 1

Is your thesis written in an RTL language? if it is and assumning, twoside option is used and bidi package is loaded, then bidi package takes care of this and puts margins in RTL mode in odd pages on LHS and in RTL mode in even pages, it puts margins on the RHS. Here is an example:

....
\usepackage{ptext}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{xepersian}
\begin{document}
\ptext[1]
\begin{marginfigure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{demo}
\caption{این یک شکل است}
\end{marginfigure}
\ptext
\end{document}

and here is the output:

And the same example using bidi package and latin characters:

...
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage[RTLdocument]{bidi}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{marginfigure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{demo}
\caption{This is a figure}
\end{marginfigure}
\lipsum
\end{document}
