They pronounce "then" and "den" identically? When imitating US
English, they pronounce "paths" and "pads" identically?

Hopefully they'll differ in voicing.

Do USans pronounce <paths> with [T]?

In my dialect, the singular is [pa:T], but the plural is [pa:Dz]. Same for all other nouns ending in /T/.
