Yes, we say Tack snälla, but I don't remember any other variation. I would say that it is short for "Tack snälla (du)", telling the kind person that he/she is very 'kind', doing whatever I thanked for. "Thanks, you are so kind!"

Is it really a cognate? Or just a False Friend? When I was a child we had "Snälltåg" which had nothing to do with being kind. It meant 'Fast train' from the German 'schnell'. We used to have a stronger bond to German language, lending words, for centuries.
