The word clue derives from clew (cliwen, cleowen, kluwen), which means a rounded mass or a ball of thread. When Bilbo refers to himself as the clue-finder in chapter 12, he is most likely referring to the web encased dwarves he finds or the cobwebs along the way through Mirkwood in chapter 8. It might also refer to Bilbo finding the key to the troll's lair in chapter 2, or it might have something to do with unravelling the meaning of the moon letters on Thror's map in chapter 3.

He is amused by the threat of revenge against himself, since he is so massive and powerful. He single handedly conquered Lonely Mountain, and that was 200 years previously. He simply doesn't believe anyone is strong enough to even be close to a threat.
