TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, as a UK passport holder, you can enter Thailand by land even if you have two arrival stamps by air within the past year. The rule states that nationals eligible for a 30-day visa exemption can enter through land checkpoints twice a calendar year, and previous air entries do not count against this limit. However, additional entries may be at the discretion of the immigration officer.

Don't use the Poipet crossing from Cambodia.

Yes. The only set in stone rule is 2 visa exempt land entries per year. Anything else is possible but at the discretion of the immigration officer.

Yes, you can. The written rule is:

Nationals entitled to a 30-days visa exemption are eligible to enter Thailand without visa through land border checkpoints only TWICE a calendar year. The entering through international airports will not be affected by this regulation.
