I want to kick off a background worker thread from a client AJAX request. So the request returns immediately and the background thread handles the processing. Is Session state available to this background thread?

Yes – if your background thread is running in the same AppDomain as an ASP.NET site.
HttpContext.Current.Sessionwill get you access to it. Ignoring of course an entire topic of how to best handle multi-threading in web apps, how to best handle injecting dependencies into your backend code (whether a controller or some other technology du jour) for testability, this will get you there quickest and dirtiest.
