Legolas does not die. As an elf, he is immortal; barring death from violence, he will live forever. He departs, along with other elves, to a place called the Undying Lands. This is where the holy Valar live, it is a close equivalent to heaven. So as far as the official sources go, Legolas lives there immortally, forever.
Gandalf certainly played a key role in the Battle for Helm's Deep. While the Dike, along with the Wall and the Keep were being defended by Theoden, Eomer, and Aragorn, Gandalf was busy rounding up the men of Rohan that had been scattered after the Battle of the Fords of Isen. This included the leader of the men of the Westfold, Erkenbrand. Gandalf led Erkenbrand along with a thousand men on foot to the Helm's Deep, where they cut off Saruman's forces. Gandalf also brought with him, a little more indirectly, Huorns from Isengard and Fangorn. Gandalf also went to Isengard to ask for help from Treebeard. Due to this, Treebeard sent hundreds of Huorns to Helm's Deep. They completely annihilated the orcs, and the Men of Dunland surrendered.
How do he and Frodo escape them when leaving Cirith Ungol?
If by "he" you mean Sam, and by "them" you mean the orcs of Mordor after Frodo has been stabbed by the giant sider Shelob and put in a coma then kidnapped by the orcs, then here's the answer: they fought their way out. After Frodo was completely stripped of all clothing (and to the dismay of the orcs, not in possession of the one ring), Sam came after him. With Sting (Frodo's sword) and his own, Sam actually fought his way out of the tower before going back up the stairs to get Frodo. Then, he reveals to Frodo that while he was in a Shelob-induced coma, Sam himself pocketed to ring to keep it safe from the orcs and Uruk-hai. He returns the ring to Frodo and the two of them (disguised in small orc armor) continue their quest to destroy the ring in Mount Doom.

Why did the elves capture thorin?
They were captured several times, by the trolls, orcs, and Mirkwood spiders, respectively. But they were taken prisoner and kept in the dungeons by the Elves of Mirkwood (which is probably the instance you mean).
Why did Faramir capture Gollum?
Because Faramir and his army were guarding the land Ithilien (an eastern part of Gondor) and ambushing Sauron's passing troops, and Frodo and Sam were two unknown persons of an unknown race of unknown allegiance in a war zone, and thus suspicious.
Why does Gandalf the Grey come back as Gandalf the White?
Gandalf is a Maia, a minor god or angel. In the Third Age, he and a few others like him were sent on a mission to help the peoples of Middle-earth against Sauron. Naturally incorporeal and able to take any shape, they have been given the shape of old men for this mission. These body limited them, both by being physically old men, but they also could not use their full power or knowledge. In Middle-earth this group is known as the Istari, and mortals have called them "wizards".
When he was killed by the Balrog his freed spirit left the physical world, but was sent back by Eru (God). He awoke again where he had been killed, but now again had access to more of his power and memory than before when he had been Gandalf the Grey. The changed colour in his title refers to that change, but also in his taking over of Saruman's position. ---- Gandalf (the gray) is pulled into the dark pit in Moria by the Balrog. There he battles with the Balrog until he defeats him, but it almost kills him. Gandalf lies there for what he recalls as feeling like centuries, near death. He is sent back from death because he has not completed his job, which is helping Frodo and the good peoples of Middle Earth to defeat Sauron. He is forced to return to life as Gandalf the White, similar but not exactly the same as he was before he fell.
How does gollum guess that Bilbo has his ring in hobbit?
Bilbo and Gollum enter into a riddle game. While trying to think of a riddle, Bilbo is fiddling around in his pocket, and he happens to feel the ring he had just picked up. He didn't think much about picking it up, so, while, trying to come up with a riddle, he mumbled, "What do I have in my pocket?" In spite of this not being a proper riddle for the riddle game, Gollum accepted it and asked for and received 3 tries to answer it. He failed, then went back to get the ring from where he thought he'd hidden it (actually, it had fallen off without his noticing). When he saw the ring was gone and remembered Bilbo's odd question, he put 2 and 2 together and deduced Bilbo had the ring in his pocket.
I believe it was when Bilbo couldn't come up with a riddle, so he thought out loud the question: "What have I got in my pocket?" After Gollum realized he didn't have his ring, he then supposed that it was, indeed, in Bilbo's pocket.
Because Gollum found him and would not tell him the way out until Bilbo gave him the Ring and Bilbo would not give him the ring untless he answered the riddles correctly.
Gollum and bilbo have a game of riddles, bilbo asks, "what have I got in my pockets?" He gives Gollum 3 guesses, and gollum guesses all three wrong
Gollum asks Bilbo what he does have in his pocket, and bilbo refuses to tell him, multiple times
Gollum discovers HE, (himself), has lost the ring and goes into a state of panic. Gollum then remembers the riddle, "What do I have in my pocket?" and after guessing wrong he assumes it's the ring, and gollum tries to attack Bilbo
Hope this helped

Not of itself, it used to be "Greenwood". However after the Necromancer (Sauron) set up his tower there to search for the ring in Anduin many other evil creatures were drawn there and it became a dangerous "evil" place to be.
What does Gandalf say before he falls?
In the Return of the King film (2003)
End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
Pippin: What, Gandalf? See what?
Gandalf: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

Compare Dobby in Rowling's Harry Potter and Gollum in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings?
They were bound to evil masters and eventually broke away. Gollum, in a sense broke away when he fell into Mount Doom. Dobby broke free when Harry gave him the sock. Gollum and Dobby both had good intentions, but wether it was Dobby's loyalty to the Malfoys or Gollum's obession with the ring, they made it very hard for the protagonists to complete their quests. Gollum was more evil than Dobby. He planned to do more evil than good, and was determined to get the ring from Frodo. Dobby on the other hand, had good intentions but had everything to go wrong.
In the movies, both were computer generated. They had overly skinny legs and arms, big heads and big eyes. Both have long skinny fingers.
Dobby could do magic while Gollum could not. Gollum had been corrupted, while Dobby maintained his innocence and desire to do good.
Gollum was in a sense evil and cunning although he was possesed as fredo was becoming Dobby was almost pure and inoncent although in book 2 he did some nasty things to try and protect harry

Why did Gandalf return to the dwarves camp?
Gandalf had not meant to abandon the Dwarves and the Hobbit. But he had had to attend the meeting of the White Council and convince them to attack the Necromancer's fortress of Dol Guldur, because he had discovered that the Necromancer was actually Sauron biding his time and recovering his power.
He hadalways intended to return to the Dwarves, and he did so at the right time on both occasions - once saving the Company from being eaten by trolls, the other time warning them of the coming of the Orcs and Wargs.
How many Rings are found in Lord of the Rings?
Three Rings for Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwark-Lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for mortal men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his throne,
In the Land of Mordor where Shadows lie.
One ring to rule them, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where Shadows lie.
