Ok so this is a noob question but can i put setups for programs in a thumb drive so i can install later into a different pc?

yes, yes you can.

you can even install some programs into a thumb drive as well and later use it on a different pc

you can even run a whole operating system in a thumb drive

so thumb drive can do lots of stuff

if it is large enough you can run crysis 3 out of it too

thumb drive <3

It depends on a program :) some apps keep settings data in seperate folder or in file - then you can copy it and paste on other PC 

so lets say i want to install steam on a different computer and i have a thumb drive in my pc, can i just put the setup.exe in there and it will function and install steam?

Yes. But be careful about wearing out the write cycles on the drive. Not fun to lose all of your data randomly.
