"Don't quote me on that" is an expression you say when you are giving someone information but you are not completely sure it is correct, so you want to let them know that the information could be incorrect.
"I believe that John Mayer is having a concert here in June, but don't quote me on that."

It’s a casual way of saying that the speaker is not sure of what he/she just previously said, or that they do not want others to know what was said. Literally, it means not to write down or report what was said “in quotes,” but this has just become a colloquial way of saying, I’m not sure about what I just said or I don’t want others to know what I said, depending on the context.
That store is always closed on Sundays, but don’t quote me on that. (I’m not completely sure if this is correct.)
She has a terrible temper and no one wants to work with her, but don’t quote me on that. (I don’t want anyone to know that I said this.)

You’re welcome :)
I have never seen “Don’t quote me on that” with a question mark. But I suppose if I read Don’t quote me on that?, I would just read that as another level of not being sure, as in, could you please not tell anyone or I’m really it sure. Hope that helps.

Oh, I just realized you might be asking about the “Thank you?” (I thought that was a typo…)
Thank you?
Is kind of saying thank you, but perhaps for something that was not nice and/or helpful. But it depends on the context. It could also just be a typo. :)
