You should be able to get a thing name from an env variable AWS_IOT_THING_NAME inside a GGv2 component and construct a topic which looks something like this AWS_IOT_THING_NAME/message/response where you can send the back the info to.
You will also have the info from which topic the message got received into in a lambda function payload, thus you can know where to send it back.

Do I have to specify anything in recipe.json to get AWS_IOT_THING_NAME ?? I am using AWS Java SDK. In component what am I suppose to write to fetch the AWS_IOT_THING_NAME. Is it something like system.getEnvironment(AWS_IOT_THING_NAME) ??

You don't need to do anything special.
AWS_IOT_THING_NAMEis provided as a regular environment variable.
