I wanted to make a HL2 beta mod like The Thing, but, I dont know how, there isn't a guide or a tutorial on how to do it. Maybe someone can tell me how?

Okay, you probably mean to make a map, because mods mainly involve custom models, textures, scripts and much more in addition to maps.

Well, look, for this you need to run a program called a Hummer Editor, as well as configure it. Here is tutorial on how to do it.
Then, you need to learn how to make maps in a Hummer Editor. For me, 3kliksphilip has the best tutorials. Although he makes a mod in the editor of CS:S/CS:GO, he explains very quickly and clearly, and since these games have the same engine, most of the videos from this playlist will help you.

No not a map, like with customs scripts etc.

Creating mod for Half Life 2 beta is very similar to Half-Life 1

As usual, in the resource folders of the game itself that you take as a basis for the mod, for example: valve, cl_dlls, dlls folders

If you're handy enough, you could just edit the anon-hl2 leak for that. Trimming it down to it's core, you can simply make a new game on-top of the engine.

How does someone try to mod the beta source engine. Does it work like goldsrc modding or source modding?

It works more like Source than goldsrc. There's very minor things that are like goldsrc such as needed to use liblist.gam instead of gameinfo.txt when adding a new mod that gets detected by the engine.

D:/anon-hl2/bin/wc.exe

Reason why I ask:

I wanna make new maps for a build of tf2 beta that I have.

ALSO: how do I just get wc.exe?
