They don't have the same meaning.
The first one means that you are sure he/she thought about it.
The second one is that you suppose it.

Neither.
He/she must have thought, "What's the point of going there."

Using "must" means he/she most likely thought about the point in going there.
Using "would" changes the meaning. He/she "would" have if something else happened etc.
Which one is better? Hmm? Well it depends what you're trying to say.....

Those are both pretty awkward.
Probably should read, "He/she probably wondered if there was a point to going there..."

he she must have thought about it. "what's the point in going out there?" to his or herself....
try that... makes more sense.
or, didn't they think about that?
