Most of the abolitionists supported the Underground Railroad because most of the abolitionists wanted to end slavery.
Abolitionists worked to end slavery through various methods, including: advocating for the immediate emancipation of all enslaved people, organizing protests and boycotts, promoting anti-slavery literature and propaganda, and supporting the Underground Railroad to help enslaved individuals escape to freedom. They also lobbied the government to pass laws abolishing slavery.
They were all abolitionists who contributed in the movement of slaves from the southern colonies to the north. (Underground Railroad)
Abolitionists and sympathizers of all colors, slave and freed Negroes, and fugitive (runaway) slaves. Some provided food and brief respite: an hour, overnight, or a day. Some provided transportation. Some provided funds to help maintain the operations. Others, like Sojourner Truth, risked their lives and freedom to make repeated trips to guide other runaways through the dangerous windings of the underground railroad.

The Fugitive Slave Act was an add-on to the 1850 Missouri Compromise. Many people, not just abolitionists didn't like it at all. Even people not against slavery did not believe it was their responsibility to help enforce it whether they received rewards or not. So basically, the abolitionists found allies among Northern people not wanting to get involved.
The underground railroad were a series of underground passages that led to "safe houses" for the slaves. The slaves could stop at these houses for food and rest without fear of being turned in. The passages, or underground railroad, led to states where slavery was illegal and therefore they gained their freedom.
Most of them didn't. The Abolitionists did. But most Northerners were not Abolitionists, and were just exasperated that all of this was bringing war nearer.
No, abolitionists were individuals who advocated for the abolition of slavery and the emancipation of enslaved individuals. They were not hired to watch over slaves; rather, they worked to end the institution of slavery and promote freedom and equality for all.
Abolitionists believed that slavery was morally wrong and campaigned for its immediate abolition. They argued that all people, regardless of race, should be free and have equal rights. Abolitionists played a key role in the movement to end slavery in the United States.
