What are the laws regarding the sale and trade of T. sirtalis?

In Michigan, you can sell/trade them if they are captive bred.
Wild caught snakes cannot be sold or traded but of course can be given away.

So....if they are born in captivity...?

And what about other Thamnophis?

I don't know if there are any limits on other species of Thamnophis in Michigan. I know tetrataenias are protected and I dunno about gigas.

Does that mean it is illegal to be selling this one?

No, it's not illegal to keep or trade tetrataenia in Europe, just in the US....
I have 3 myself.
