Bilbo is talking to Smaug when the doubts appear. It says in the book that it's because dragons are very persuasive, and he wasn't prepared for it.
I think it was Bilbo Baggins
When Bilbo catches up to the dwarves after their encounter with the trolls, he plays a clever trick by using his newfound invisibility ring to sneak up on them. He pretends to be a fearsome creature, causing them to panic and think they are being attacked. This trick not only showcases Bilbo's resourcefulness but also helps him gain the dwarves' respect and solidify his role within their group. Ultimately, it highlights Bilbo's cleverness and growing confidence.
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.
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.
I think he rescues them numerous times, but the one that first comes to my mind is when he rescues them from the Trolls, by keeping them arguing until the sun rose up and turned them all to stone.

Because the ring is turning him selfish, making himself think that they might take it away if he tellls them about it. He wants to keep the ring all to himself.
I would think that he's referring to the imprisonment of the dwarves. The dungeon of the elves is underground.

The dwarves had begun to think Bilbo should put on his ring and scout the front door. He was getting tired of them and their expectations of him. And finally when the key-hole was revealed none of them thought to use the key! He had to shout at Thorin to get him over to the door in time.
Bilbo was from the Shire, the dwarves were from Erebor and the Iron Hills, and the Blue Mountains I think?, and the whole place is known as Middle Earth.

Bilbo can see that he and the dwarves are about to be overwhelmed by the spiders and decides he has to disappear in front of them. After they get away the dwarves are bewildered by his turning invisible and must have the story of his escape from Gollum again. Balin in particular feels he is owed an explanation because Bilbo made him look bad earlier when he snuck past Balin on guard.
he thinks that they might be slain by dragons or captured by lakemen
he tells about the ring cuz they(dwarves) were needed to be given explanation as they became suspicious of him so he tells them about the ring yet he was a bit reluctant to do so cuz he wanted dwarves to praise him and think that he alone killed the Spiders and he is capable of something yet it was not possible.
