Could someone please explain why it is not "Mahalo no kēia hui ʻana." and likewise with "Mahalo ke Akua." vs "Mahalo i ke Akua." or "Mahalo e ke Akua." meaning Thank God. Mahalo.

Can you add ʻana to any verb to make it a noun?

Most any, yes. It is a nominalizing particle. However, it is not always required to use the verb as a noun. For example, ʻōlelo means to speak, and so you can say kāna ʻōlelo ʻana (his speaking) or kāna ʻōlelo (his speech)
