Do timers run on the same thread that created them? Or do they run on another thread in the background?

No, I do not think so. If they did it would hault your entire program, which they do not. 

for (int i;;) {

   cout << "Smith";

}

They fire on another thread, though you can pass in an ISynchronizeInvoke (like a Control) that can marshal the event to the UI (or another) thread if you want.
