"Moon-letters are rune-letters, but you cannot see them," said Elrond, "not when you look straight at them. they can only be seen when the moon shines behind them, and what is more, with the more cunning sort it must be a moon of the same shape and season as the day when they were written. The dwarves invented them and wrote them with silver pens, as your friends could tell you. These must have been written on a midsummer's eve in a crescent moon, a long while ago."
They (I think Gandalf) say that he is an elf-friend, just before they go to Rivendell. But his status changes as Tolkien's books develop. In LOTR, he is a half-elf, not just an elf friend.
''An old man with a staff. He had a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, a silver scarf over which his long white beard hung down below his waist, and immense black boots..''
He warned them about the creatures and things in Mirkwood.
"The master" is the human leader of Laketown, a pretentious and greedy man, though admittedly intelligent and with good business sense.
Well he obviously wasn't aware of the presence of moon-letters and probably never thought to hold it up against the moon. I mean, who would? Elrond is more knowledgeable and perhaps had experience with these. I would say that Thorin is less observant and knowledgeable.
It depends on the edition you have.
Three-dimensional, I would say. His character develops throughout The Hobbit, too, it might be added.

Rivendell was not central to the story of Bilbo and the Dwarves and the quest for Erebor. Elrond played a minor role in that he deciphered the moon letters but was not part of the quest. Rivendell was a place of refuge and contemplation, not a camp for war. Elrond spent most of the third age being a councilor not a hero.
I'd say nowhere, but if you are extremely fainthearted, everywhere
read the book "the hobbit" and you will find out that Bilbo didn't mean to say it at all he almost said burglar but quickly changed it to hobbit so it came out burrahobbit
"Hidden somewhere ahead of us is the fair valley of Rivendell,where Elrond lives in the Last Homely House."
As you did not say which specific hobbit you mean, this question is hardly answerable. orc.
