Can an Indian passport holder traveling in Vietnam on a business / tourist visa, get a business / tourist visa at the Thai embassy in Hanoi or at the consulate in HCMC?
I'm aware that Indian Passports get a 14 day VOA but this traveller requires a visa for 30 days or more.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Indian passport holders currently residing in Vietnam cannot obtain a Thai visa at the Thai embassy in Hanoi or the consulate in Ho Chi Minh City unless they hold resident status in Vietnam. They must apply for their visa at a Thai embassy or consulate in their home country, India, or at a designated Thai embassy as specified by their requirements.
The traveler requires a visa for 30 days or more? Nice, but on what basis requires this traveler a visa, there is a big difference in a business visa, need some Thai company documents or a tourist visa?
On the website is mentioned:
7. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Nationals of certain countries are required to apply for a visa only at the Thai Embassy or Consulate-General in their home/residence country or at the designated Thai Embassy. Therefore, travellers are adivised to contact the nearest Thai Embassy or Consulate-General to find out where they may apply for a visa to Thailand before departure.
HCMC has a nice list, Hanoi does not have this list.
To be certain if an Indian passport holder can apply, you need to contact the Consulate as they ask on their website, which I copied as requirement nr 7
If a Thai company invites him on a business visit, can he get a 30 days single entry business visa from the Thai embassy in Hanoi or consulate in HCMC while he is in Vietnam on a business visa?
