What is the standard file manager in Sailfish so I can use it with the terminal? I'm XFCE user so thunar is my familiar file manager.

There is no default filemanager on SailfishOS. However you can download FileBrowser or CargoDock from the Jolla Store.

I have FileBrowser on my device. But when typing filebrowser or FileBrowser in the terminal, it returns: command not found. Even as root

There is a rule that all apps in the Jolla Store (also called harbour for devs) must have the naming scheme harbour-YOURAPPNAME. So the name for File Browser should be harbour-file-browser

ok, works fine as normal user but as root I get the following error: error: XDG_RUNTUME_DIR not set in the environment. [c] unknown:0 - Failed to create display (No such file or directory) [root@Sailfish nemo] # systemctl --user daemon-reload

Yeah the root user by default has no right to access the wayland compositor running as user nemo. There is however a way to open the file browser with root rights. Take a look here https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/startasroot-file-browser
