The wood elves capture the dwarves for trespassing in their lands without permission. They would have captured Bilbo too, if not for the fact that he was wearing a magical ring that made him invisible.
Gandalf (The adventurous Wizard.)
In the story, the dwarves are guided to Bilbo's house by following a map and clues provided by Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield. The map outlines the journey and key landmarks, while Gandalf's knowledge of the Shire and its inhabitants helps them navigate to Bilbo's home. Additionally, the dwarves likely rely on their collective experience and instincts as travelers to find their way.
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.
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.
The one item that Gandalf is looking for is a Burglar for the dwarves, to make the number 14 instead of 13.

If Gandalf and the dwarves did not show up to rescue him, Bilbo Baggins had a plan to make his way through the tunnels to locate them. However, he is saved from that undertaking when he hears the dwarves and Gandalf talking.
No. Gandalf leaves the dwarves several times in the book, always returning, seemingly, just in time to save the dwarves from some terrible danger.

Gandalf knows the way
Gandalf presents the dwarves in a staggered fashion while telling a story to keep Beorn's interest so he would not send them away.Gandalf wanted to keep Beorn fascinated in his story so he wouldn't notice the large number of dwarves Gandalf brought.
There were 13 plus Gandalf (the grey)
Gandalf and the Dwarves find three swords in a cave: Sting, which Gandalf gives Bilbo. Orcrist, which Gandalf gives Thoring. And Glamdring, which the Wizard keeps for himself.
Yes, the wizard(Gandalf) likes Bilbo very much. It is by the will of Gandalf that Bilbo comes along with the dwarves for the quest. His concern for Bilbo can be seen when all the dwarves come out from goblin's cave but Bilbo remains behind. Gandalf continues to visit Bilbo even after the end of dwarves quest.
