One discipline does not involve the other but can influence it. Rational thinking by definition is stripped from emotional thought, otherwise it is no longer rational. But quite often it is emotion that impacts rationality and sometimes visa versa but in the context of your question...
No. One does not involve the other.

Yes, if the thinking involves a projection of how others might feel. For example - - If I buy this girl red roses and leave them in her car, will her emotional response be the one I am hoping to generate? You are using a rational thought process of cause and effect, but you must tap into your emotional thought response i.e. "feelings" in order to empathize and understand how the other person might react.

According to the psychologists, there is no such thing as thought without a motivation to think, and as motivation is the result of feelings and emotions, at the very least the pros would doubt that there is thought of any kind, rational or otherwise, without feeling.

I think the best thinking involves all of the tools life gave you to work with all at once. Emotion lets you guage on how you really coexist with the matter at hand. How you feel comes from your being while thought comes from your mind. Now you just need to add soul. Soul can be defined as your awareness of one-ness with all that is.

Emotions don't help us think rationally. But they do help us decide what to think about.

Logical thinking is purposeful.
Emotional feeling is powerful.
Rational acting is using both in moderation, and processes them before you do any action.
