1. Does the current wiring make sense?
Are you able to draw or take a photo and put on here for us to see your set up?

2. What type of thermostat can I replace this with? 2-pole?
4-pole? Any other restrictions or specifications?
Any of them can work.

3. Can someone recommend a simple programmable thermostat that can handle 4000w at 240v?
Not sure about your area if Home Depot has it, but down here we have the Honeywell Line Voltage t-stat that can work. It's model #RLV430A

5. Is this a simple job or should I leave this to a professional?
I don't think it's going to be too bad... Seems like you got a good ideal of what's going on there when you did a voltage reading.
