Why does Gandalf want a burglar rather then a hero or a warrior to accompany the dwarves on this advemture?
Gandalf understood Hobbits and he knew that Bilbo would never refuse one or two Dwarf guests. Once they were in, he would be unable to refuse members of their party because that would have been rude. Introducing all the dwarves at once would give Bilbo the right to refuse because there were too many.
What leads the Elven king to imprison the dwarfs?
The Elves felt they were being attacked and responded in kind. Since Thorin refused to tell them why he was in their realm, for fear they would want some of the treasure (he coveted the Arkenstone and feared others would try to take it), they decided to imprison him just to be safe. The Elves distrusted the Dwarves, and they had, for many years, been seen as beggars.
In the book The Hobbit how does the narrator explain to the reader the dwarves' apparent lack of courage when they all except for Balin refuse to accompany Bilbo into the secret passage?
The narrator explains "They intended to pay Bilbo really handsomely for his services; they had brought him to do a nasty job for them, and they did not mind the little fellow doing it if he would...There it is: Dwarves are not heroes, but calculating folk with a great idea of the value of money; some are tricky and treacherous and pretty bad lots; some are not, but decent enough people like Thorin and Company, if you don't expect to much." This is the only explanation for their cowardice.
What was the effect of treasure on the dwarfs and Smaug?
At the risk of generalizing dwarves are typically said to possess the following characteristics: 1. They tend to be shorter and broader than humans but taller than Hobbits. 2. They are invariably bearded. 3. With respect to personality, dwarves tend to have as positive qualities a steadfastness, a heartiness and hardiness, an unbreakable spirit, and fierce loyalty. On the negative side, dwarves tend to be proud, jealous, covetous, and stubborn. 4. Dwarves are generally depicted as craftsmen, miners, architects. Dwarves build and shape stone and metal in ways that no other people can. Surely there must be some dwarven cooks and janitors, but the only non-craftspeople described in the LOTR is warriors. 5. Dwarves are described making and using many kinds of weapons, but they are most associated with axes. 6. Dwarves appear to always live underground, in mines and caves, carved into hills or mountains. 7. Dwarven females are described in the appendices as being physically rather like males, but no female dwarve is ever seen in the books. 8. Dwarves are described as being jealous of their secrets to such an extent that they refuse to teach their language to outsiders or tell non-dwarves their true names. (All dwarven names in the LOTR are said in the appendix to be assumed names, public names. This secrecy even extends to their not even carving their true names on their own tombs.)

Why does Thorin refuse Bard his request for treasure?
Thorin is a dwarf, and they love treasure. They finally get their mountain and then here comes humans tramping along, wanting a share in it. To Thorin and company, they just certainly could not have sticky human fingers all over their precious treasure. What can you say, they're dwarves!
