They don't, really. But they are determined, and that certainly counts for something.
Does Gandalf tell the dwarves that Bilbo is a spy?
When? At the beginning, Gandalf the Grey chats to Bilbo saying he is looking for someone to go on an adventure. Bilbo, being timid at the start, is a little rude to Gandalf, but invites him to afternoon tea. Gandalf laughs and with his staff marks the front door "burglar for hire, etc". Later a knock on the door and after a while 13 dwarfs and Gandalf are in Bilbo's Bag End residence: Dwalin, Balin, Fili, Kili, Gloin, Oin, Ori, Nori, Dori, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin Oakenshield. During the adventure Bilbo is separated numerous times from the dwarfs, and aids them in their escapades with his new found confidence and bravery and his magical ring.
What hints does the narrator give that the cave will not be safe shelter they hope for?
The reader knows that the caves aren't going to be safe from context clues; first, Gandalf cites that caves are seldom unoccupied second, the dwarfs sent ahead to check things out weren't very observant and scouted the area far too quickly (Fili and Kili).
