It's not clear what you are planning.

Entering Thailand with a SETV e-Visa the booked appointment with agent is irrelevant.

Entry to Thailand with a Visa the airline and immigration in Thailand would not require an onward flight.

Onward flight is required by the Embassies to issue an SETV.

Travel booking confirmation
- Flight details showing applicant’s name, departure date, all flights en route from UK/Ireland/UK territories to Thailand and onward ticket to another destination.

Airlines also often request proof of onward ticket when entering as a Tourist.

Which airline do you suggest and from which airport?

Airport should always be from the one you arrive at.
An outward ticket from anywhere else would be useless if denied entry.

Not now.

Do you know why that happened?

Some suggest due to widespread money laundering etc.

In any event to open a Thai Bank account you require Non O category.

Not tourist status
