Does a computer subvocalize thoughts when a LLM is given a query to process? How much does a computer have to process at once to experience sensation like a human?

Subvocalization is an action of the body, you might as well ask if an LLM can throw a punch. Of course they can't, they're disembodied.

Nope.

It probably can't. AI models are only very loosely analogous to real neural networks in animals. And it's not even really comparable. Like at a high level we can say it's neural because it can """learn""" without explicit programming. I suppose it could be possible for a computer to feel sensations, but we'd at a minimum need hardware advanced enough to alter the training weights in real time. And we'd probably need many layers of embeddings or something.
