Gandalf rescues them from the trolls. He does so by throwing his voice and getting them to argue with each other. They got so caught up in their fight that they forgot the time and the sun turned them to stone.

Who was Bilbo Baggins expecting for tea?
Gandalf (The adventurous Wizard.)
Why did gandalf visit Bilbo Baggins?
I think Gandalf came to Bilbo to either get a 14 man. (Another reply) Gandalf was helping the dwarves, and he believed that Bilbo could help. However, his help to the dwarves was secondary to his main mission: to get information about Sauron. Sauron is mentioned in the Hobbit, as the Necromancer; in the Lord of the Rings, Gandalf confirms that the "Necromancer" was no other than the old enemy, Sauron.
What indications are there that the dwarves do or do not care about Bilbos well being?
Bilbo is the burglar of the group, and it is his job to go and investigate the scene.In regards to the central themes: heroism, wisdom and nobility we can add the complexities of a noble thief: is this an oxymoron? And in terms of heroes it is ironic that the dwarves were sacked after rather timidly relegating the dirty-work to Bilbo. Do not expect this to change. As far as character-development goes, Bilbo is the central focus. He is growing into Gandalf's glowing pronouncement and the dwarves are‹for now, at least‹being themselves.
How does Gandalf rescue Bilbo's and the dwarves in hobbit?
I think he rescues them numerous times, but the one that first comes to my mind is when he rescues them from the Trolls, by keeping them arguing until the sun rose up and turned them all to stone.
What greek literary term is exemplified in Gandalf's rescue?
Dunno. I can think of a Latin one: Deus Ex Machina. God from the Machine in Latin, which refers to a Greek and Roman dramatic practice of having gods descend on pulleys and winches so as to suddenly appear and resolve matters on stage. It now is used to describe a person or thing that suddenly and unexpectedly sends the plot in an entirely new direction. I'm not sure if you're referring to Gandalf's rescue of the dwarves (in which case, Gandalf suddenly appearing in the throne room of the Great Goblin makes him the Deus Ex Machina) or Gandalf and the dwarve's rescue by eagles (in which case, the eagles are the Deux Ex machina).

Summarize Bilbos rescue of the dwarves?
Bilbo stays invisible for weeks listening to conversations of the Wood-Elves. The king's first man<-? and a guard test some wine in the basement of the Wood-Elf compound. They fall asleep and Bilbo steals the guard's keys. Bilbo unlocks the cells of the dwarves and he puts them in empty tubs that the Wood-Elves were about to throw out through their river disposal system, (I can't quite remember what it was called), and the elves who throw out the tubs threw out the dwarves without even looking in them. Bilbo had one problem though, he wasn't in a tub, so he had to grab on to a barrel and float into the lake where the dwarves and Bilbo are accepted and fed and housed.
