Can a person who’s not balding have a certain degree of hair thinning? or is it that hair thinning has to be associated with hair loss?

I think I used this analogy before, but just because it is cloudy outside does not mean it will rain. Yet when it is raining, it is cloudy. In other words, hair thinning is just a state of the health of your hair and one part may thin while other parts may not — or all of it may thin. The cause is multifactorial, from nutritional status to drug exposure to aging to genetic balding. Thinning in a certain male pattern hair loss may potentially be an early sign of the genetic type. When a series of hair shafts are thinner than others (miniaturized), then this usually indicates something is wrong. There is no way to make this simple, so that is why people like us exist. We try to analyze what is happening to each patient, establish baselines for future hair loss, sort through the possibilities of causes, some of which may be correctable, and then suggest actions (medications to hair transplants) as they are appropriate to each of our patients.
