Gollum and Smeagol are the same character.
Gollum did say "My love" to Sméagol in the movies (I can't remember if he said that in the books) and considering his split-personality, perhaps it is not so surprising. It is not a term of endearment, but an eccentricity, if you will.
He didn't.
"my love" and "my precious" is Gollum talking to the ring.
Occasionally, he'd call himself by his old name "Smeagol".
He doesn't say 'My pretty' he says "My pressciousss" he says that because that's what he calls The Ring. If he WAS actually saying 'My pretty,' which movie was he in?
Gollum did not call himself precious. Precious referred to his ring, his precioussssss. In The Hobbit book, his nickname is Gollum because he makes "horrible swallowing noise in his throat, though he is always called himself 'my precious'." The movies do not exactly follow Tolkien's version.
He is not talking to himself, he is referring to the ring which is "my precious".
Gollum always over exaggerates the ss. He also talks to himself
he calls the ring; "the precious"
Gollum. The name was given to him by his relatives, due to the "gollum" noise he made in his throat.

If this creature was seen in the shadows, then likely it is Andy Serkis, the actor who played Gollum. Or more likely, it is Gollum himself.

The cast of Bringing Gollum to Life - 2003 includes: Andy Serkis as himself
Bilbo finds himself in a cave after escaping the goblins. The cave is home to a creature who calls himself gollum. Gollum is in a mood because he has lost his precious(the ring in bilbo's pocket). Gollum challenges Bilbo to a riddles contest, if Bilbo loses Gollum gets to stew him in a pot and eat him. If Bilbo wins he gets to leave the cave uneaten. After a few riddles each bilbo realises Gollum is much better than himself, so cheats by asking "what is in my pocket?" When he faails to find the answer bilbo uses the ring to vanish from sight and escape.
Bilbo finds the ring on the bank of the lake where Gollum lives, and put it in his pocket. While thinking about it he says to himself 'What have I got in my pocket?', which Gollum takes as a real question and he cannot answer it.
Gollum refers to himself by his given name, Sméagol, after he is reminded of it. Otherwise, he does not specifically refer to himself. by the way, "Gollum" is not actually his name; it is a reference to the gulping sound he makes that has become a sort of nervous tick.
Bilbo said, talking to himself, "what have i got in my pocket?" (it was the Ring). Gollum thought it was a riddle and Bilbo decided to make it one. he gave Gollum three chances to guess and gollum lost after four. then gollum went "to get something" (it was the ring), and Bilbo thought he was abandoned and left with the ring on. Gollum thought Bilbo knew the way out and he wanted to follow him, realizing Bilbo had the ring. Bilbo saw Gollum racing towards the gate and followed him to safety.
