The elves kidnapped Thorin because they wanted to prevent him from entering the Woodland Realm and escalating tensions over the treasure from the Lonely Mountain. Thorin's insistence on claiming a share of the treasure, particularly the Arkenstone, posed a threat to the elves' peace and interests. The elves, led by King Thranduil, sought to negotiate and maintain order, believing that detaining Thorin would help achieve this goal. Ultimately, the elves aimed to protect their realm and secure their own claims over the treasures of Middle-earth.
The party of dwarves had fought their way out of the spider's part of the forest. Once they settled down for a rest, they realized that Thorin was gone. He had been taken by the elves before the spiders caught the others.
They were about to go into battle, and men and elves are bothered by the cold much more than Hobbits or dwarves.
Gandalf intervened for Bilbo when he found himself in Thorin Oakenshield's angry clutches. The wizard stepped in to defend Bilbo after Thorin accused him of being a traitor for his dealings with the elves and men. Gandalf's intervention helped to calm the situation and ultimately allowed Bilbo to prove his worth to the company.
Bilbo kept from being captured by the Wood Elves in Mirkwood by using The Ring to turn himself invisible. He slipped in after the company of Elves that had captured the other members of The Company (namely, the twelve dwarves) as the Elves were escorting the dwarves into the Elven fortress.
Thorin Oakenshield was captured by the Wood Elves in Chapter 8 of "The Hobbit" because he and his companions were trying to avoid detection while traveling through the Mirkwood forest. However, they were discovered by the elves after being ensnared in their webs and losing their way. Thorin's pride and refusal to trust the elves led to his capture when he attempted to confront the situation rather than seek a peaceful resolution. This ultimately resulted in him being imprisoned in the Elvenking's dungeons.
No, he did not say anything. He did not want to give away the mission to win back the Lonely Mountain.

Dain is Thorin's cousin, a Dwarf from the Iron Hills. Thorin sends a raven to summon Dain and his army to help defend the treasure under the Lonely Mountain from the men and elves after Smaug is slain. Dain and Thorin join forces with the men and elves to defeat the evil creatures. He is crowned King under the Mountain after Thorin dies in the Battle of Five Armies.

The reason why Thorin didn't want the elvenking to know about their quest is because the wood-land elves are selfish and love gold, the dwarves are trying to get their gold back, but if the elves find out, they will want to help them, but get some of their treasure!
When addressing the elves and men that came to the gate, Thorin refers to himself more than once as " I am Thorin son of Thrain son of Thror King under the mountain"
Thorin chooses to fortify his postition and await Dain's arrival. He is ready to do battle with the elves and men.

The Elven-king, Thranduil, who ruled the Woodland Elves (Northern part of Mirkwood Forest) put Thorin and Company in prinson. Elves and Dwarves have distrusted each other ever since the First Age (The Hobbit is set toward the end of the Third Age), so Thranduil was not kindly disposed toward Thorin's Company. Thorin further angered Thranduil by refusing to tell him either his name or his business, because Thorin didn't trust Thranduil either.
Thorin was captured by Thranduil, the Elvenking, in "The Hobbit" because Thranduil believed Thorin's party, which included Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf, were thieves trying to enter his kingdom without permission. Thorin's refusal to share information about their quest to reclaim Erebor also fueled tensions leading to his capture.
He was the first one to step out into the open, into the elves' light, and so the magic hit him hardest, and he fell dazed to the ground. The wood elves carried him off with them when they ran away, but the other dwarves and Bilbo were left behind.
