I doubt it. Satan miscalculated Job. If he were able to read Job's thoughts, he wouldn't have miscalculated so much, Job 1:
Job never cursed God to His face.

Satan also miscalculated Jesus, Matthew 4:
Satan didn't see that coming.

Can Satan read our thoughts?

Probably not.

Or does he just base his schemes on previous actions we've taken, hoping we'll repeat them?

I think so. He is calculating but there the calculation is not perfect. There are mistakes.

Dont know but the enemy influences minds:
"In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (II Cor 4:4)

Could possibly not be our thoughts ?
"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" (II Cor 10:5)

One reason we're to renew our minds with His Word (Rom 12:2).

Also, "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:" Eph 2
