I bet the Testor's Thinner is alcohol-based, so I wouldn't use it except with Tamiya or the Testor's Aztek airbrush paint. Just pick up a gallon of distilled from the grocery store and thin the GW, P3 paints with that.
Then use the thinner to clean out the airbrush.
I use a mix of 10:1 Distilled Waterry Retarder to thin all paint with. It might be in my head but I think it helps with tip dry in the airbrush.

Liquitex or Golden Air Brush medium is all you need. Pre-mixed with slo-dry and flow improver. I use it all the time and it is magic air brush sauce.

Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?
I don't know if you found a brush yet but was also in the market for an airbrush and compressor and I went with the iwata eclipse hp-cs. I found a really good deal on it to that is still available, if you google "hobby lobby 40 off" you can get a coupon for 40% off any one item and I used it on the brush in store. After the coupon it was $120. The coupon expires in 2 days though, just thought I would pass it on.
Go to http://hobbylobby.com/weekly/weekly.cfm -- they almost always have the 40% off coupon. This one expires the 22nd, but on the 23rd a new one will appear.
My wife gets pissed when I forget about it.

Or he could pay someone to go get him a compressor. He values his time.
