This question is difficult to answer, since they aren't always mentioned as individuals. In several scenes, we are simply told that elves were doing something, without being told how many.

The number of elves at Rivendell is probably not all that great, since it is described as a single house (although presumably a large one). The wood elves are rather more numerous, sending an impressive army to the lake and the mountain after the dragon is slain.

Why did the elvish-looking folk disappear when the dwarves went running into their camp?

If you are referring to the book "The Hobbit," we aren't told exactly. We do know that elves and dwarves had a long-standing grudge against each other. But it does seem as if the elves were trying to trap them, or at least to create an excuse for taking them prisoner. The elves in "The Hobbit" were more like the elves in Celtic folklore - silly, tricky, deceitful little fairies - than the regal, mysterious elves in "The Lord of the Rings." Legolas was a Mirkwood elf, one of the people that the dwarves encountered in "The Hobbit," and was not considered the equal of the Lorien elves.
