What word did Tolkien misspell throughout The Hobbit?
I suspect you are alluding to Dwarfs as opposed to Dwarves. Tolkien expanded at some length on his choice of spelling in the appendices to Lord of the Rings, but intrinsically - and certainly linguistically - he was in the right.
In The Hobbit what does the phrase 'I may be a burglar but I am an honest one' mean?
It may mean that he is a bad person, but he admits it. Bilbo Baggins says this. He is stung by some of the comments of the dwarves. I think that it means that Bilbo may be a thief, but he does not tell lies.

Which dwarves die in the hobbit book?
Of the THIRTEEN dwarves that set out along with Bilbo Baggins on the Quest of Erebor, three died in the Battle of the Five Armies: Fili, Kili, and Thorin Oakenshield. The other 10 dwarves were: Dwalin, Balin, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur. In the 1977 animated movie version of The Hobbit, only 6 of the dwarves live. I forget which though. One thing I'm certain of: Fili, Kili, and Thorin die in both the book and the animated movie. However, only Fili, Kili, and Thorin die in the book.

What are the differences between the dragons and dwarves?
Besides the obvious fact that one is a dragon and one is humanoid, Dragons are Evil, the earlier ones created by Morgoth, while the later ones (ie Smaug) are descendants of the older ones. Some dragons are lazy, Smaug only lied on his gold pile and did nothing else for decades.
Who was Smaug related to in the book The Hobbit?
Smaug's family is never mentioned. In fact dragon origins are rather ambiguous. What is known is that dragons came into the world due to the corruption of the creator's song, by Melkor. His discordant addition brought evil into the world, dragons included. It is not explained whether dragons reproduce, or if all dragons were created at that same time, or if there is some other mechanism to explain how they appear.

Did a dwarf from The Hobbit get bitten by the spider?
Yes, the dwarves got bitten by the spiders. Most of them were groggy from the affects of the spider venom. It took a while for some of them to get the senses back. Bilbo had to repeat instructions to them several times before they understood.
What 2 items does Bilbo forget in his rush to meet the Dwarves at Green Dragon Inn in The Hobbit?
He left without a hat or a pocket handkerchief.
In what way could the manner of Smaug's death be disappointing for the reader who has followed the dwarves' and bilbo's long trek to the mountain?
What a great question! One might get the impression that after all of their travails and adventures, the hobbit and/or the dwarves should be more directly involved in Smaug's death - - as in some sort of epic battle or through sneaky skullduggery - - but the deed is instead performed by Bard the Bowman.
