In chapter eight of the hobbit. Bilbo bagging's rescues the dwarfs. He's more brave then at the beginning of the book. He leads the spiders away to free the dwarves. When they return he kills many and they learn to fear his blade. He keeps the dwarves together and leads them out of the spiders area.
The dwarves are Bilbo's friends for most of the Hobbit.

The Dwarves are from the Ered Luin during Bilbo's time. Erebor was their original home but Smaug chased them away.
Yes, in chapter 9 the dwarves (but not Bilbo) were imprisoned by the Wood-elves in Mirkwood forest.

There is actually no race in The Hobbit. It was not a race against Time as in The Lord of the Rings. Bilbo's quest was simply to steal for the dwarves, that was it. Nothing is described as a race.
Yes, the wizard(Gandalf) likes Bilbo very much. It is by the will of Gandalf that Bilbo comes along with the dwarves for the quest. His concern for Bilbo can be seen when all the dwarves come out from goblin's cave but Bilbo remains behind. Gandalf continues to visit Bilbo even after the end of dwarves quest.
Smaug doesn't recognize the scent of Hobbit, although he knows what dwarves and men smell like.
