Is 'exhausto' stronger than 'cansado'?

Yes, much stronger. While 'cansado' means tired, 'exhausto' means you have absolutely no energy left.

Can I use 'exhausto' to mean a 'thorough' report?

No, for a 'thorough' or 'exhaustive' report, you should use the related word 'exhaustivo'.

Does 'exhausto' mean 'bored'?

No. English speakers sometimes confuse 'tiring' with 'boring', but in Spanish, 'exhausto' only refers to the lack of energy, never boredom.
