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 finally caused Bilbo from the hobbit to join the group?

Bilbo Baggins joins the group of dwarves on their quest largely due to the unexpected visit from Gandalf and the dwarves, who challenge his comfortable, predictable life.

Ultimately, it is a mix of curiosity and the desire to prove himself that compels him to step outside his comfort zone and join the journey.

What is the ending of The Hobbit?

In the end, there is the Battle of Five Armies, in which Thorin dies, and Kili and Fili die defending him, for he was their uncle. Bilbo had used his ring to become invisible and didn't really do any fighting. He was knocked out when he cried out "Eagles! The Eagles are coming!" and was hit on the head with a rock. After they all said their goodbyes, Gandalf and Bilbo head to Rivendell where Gandalf talks to Elrond about what happened. Then they returned to the Shire where Bilbo finds an auction going on at Bag End. He thinks that Lobelia stole all his spoons though. After a few years, Balin and Gandalf come to his house and visit.

What has Gandalf been doing since Bilbo left the Shire?

No one really knows for sure, I suppose. J.R.R. Tolkien basically left it up to the reader to decide what happened to Gandalf. I always liked to think he went back to being the Gray wanderer, frequently stopping by the Shire to visit Merry, Pippin and Sam. But that's just me.
