The passage indicates: "Is that a kind of a glow I seem to see coming right ahead down there?" he thought. It was. As he went forward it grew and grew, till there was no doubt about it. It was a red light steadily getting redder and redder. This was the light emanating from the dragon Smaug himself.
Bilbo's escape plan is mediocre. He risked the lives of the dwarves while trying to carry it out.
Bilbo Baggins is loyal because when the dwarves were captured by the goblins he went back into the horrible, horrible tunnels and look for his friends. He had just made up his mind that it was his duty, and that he must turn back.
In chapter four of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, the dwarves and Bilbo and Gandalf the wizard are in the goblin tunnels. At the end of the chapter, a group of goblins sneaks up on Bilbo's party and one of them grabs hold of Dori, who happened to be carrying Bilbo. Bilbo then falls off of Dori's shoulders and knocks his head on a rock, and blacks out.
He proves himself useful on several occassions. He rescues them from the spiders in Mirkwood. His warning allowed Gandalf to escape and rescue them in the Goblin Cave. He gets them out of the elf dungeon in Mirkwood. And then he gets them into the Mountain.
While in the goblin tunnels, Dori was carrying Bilbo on his back since the hobbit was too small to keep up on his own. As they ran, a group of goblins quietly followed the company of dwarves and, sneaking up from behind, a goblin grabbed Dori by the foot, tripping him and causing him to drop poor Bilbo. The hobbit bumped his head on a rock and blacked out. A fight broke out between the goblins and dwarves, and then Gandalf shouted, "Follow me everybody!" and the dwarves all ran father into the tunnel with the wizard. Bilbo, being unconscious, was unable to follow and was left behind. Later, Gandalf was quite upset with Dori for not picking Bilbo up again, but Dori said in defense, "You shouted 'follow me everybody!' and everybody ought to have followed. We thought everybody had." Meanwhile, Bilbo went on in the tunnel once he gained consciousness, and proceeded to find the Ring and meet Gollum.
They were discussing all that had happened in the goblin tunnels, and debating what they were to do now. Gandalf was saying that they could not possibly go on without trying to rescue Bilbo, and the dwarves did not want to.

Yes, the wizard(Gandalf) likes Bilbo very much. It is by the will of Gandalf that Bilbo comes along with the dwarves for the quest. His concern for Bilbo can be seen when all the dwarves come out from goblin's cave but Bilbo remains behind. Gandalf continues to visit Bilbo even after the end of dwarves quest.
