So firstly, you've not yet started your bachelor's thesis, so these questions and uncertainties are normal and expected. Things start to make sense and come together over time and with work, don't get caught up on wanting to nail everything down right now - you need to work hard to get there.

It sounds like you already have some good ideas about what you want to look at and potentially how you are going to do that, good, hopefully your supervisor will be able to help and guide you in the right direction, though remember it's you that will drive your thesis forward, they are simply there to make sure you don't come off the tracks and explode in a fiery mess.

As for Discourse Analysis - you don't need linguistic expertise, unless you wish to do a very particular form of it. Discourse analysis itself is a very broad church, go pick up some of the overview texts, something like this (though there is a more recent edition) http://www.rasaneh.org/Images/News/AtachFile/27-3-1391/FILE634754469767402343.pdf

Just be aware that the use of discourse analysis within sociology will touch upon slightly different things and be developed in slightly different ways than it would in straight Linguistics, or in English, so initially work with texts that have been written by academics within Sociology or similar disciplines.

In terms of research design and questions, pick up some good research design books, something like this looks as good a place as any to start: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Qualitative-Inquiry-Research-Design-Approaches/dp/1412995302
