Thrive separates items by line per location. If a product is available at two locations, the item name will appear twice, each with its own quantity and pricing.

Thrive uses Default Costs and Lot Costs to give you the most accurate COGS.
The gray cost is your default cost, and likely was imported from your integration. This is the cost found on the product detail page.
The blue cost is your lot cost, and is what was paid for a particular shipment of inventory. Profit is calculated using lot costs, to give you accurate COGs and more detailed reporting.
