Even though Bilbo had led a sheltered life, he could tell "from the great heavy faces of them, and their size, and the shape of their legs, not to mention their language, which was not drawing-room fashion at all."

As it says in the book, they were obviously trolls, so obvious that Even Bilbo, in spite of his sheltered life, could see that: from the great heavy faces of them, and their size, and the shape of their legs, not to mention their language, which was not drawing-room fashion at all, at all.

Bilbo attempted to pick the pocket of one of the trolls when he grabbed a troll purse, which then let out with a, "Oy! Who are you?" which alerted the trolls.

It isn't known exactly what a troll purse is, though it can be inferred that they are designed exactly for this purpose; to defend against thieves.

Can you give me spells and potions that could turn you in to a troll?

There are not such things as magic spells and trolls. Neither exist in the world. If you think about this you know that people can not change into other things. It would be a bloody mess. I have known people who acted like trolls and probably should have been in life, but no one can turn them into one. Be real.
