He stepped into one of the enchanted circles around an Elf-made campfire in the woods and fell into a magical sleep. The fire was magically extinguished as soon as he stepped into the cirle, throwing the area into complete darkness. The other dwarves and Bilbo stuck together but no one grabbed Thorin because they didn't know he had been magically put to sleep. Thorin was captured by the wood elves before the rest of the party ran into the Spiders.
Thorin was captured by the elves, as the magic ring took him off to sleep much earlier than the rest.

Because Thorin is the grandson of the King of below the Mountain (Thror). They are happy to see him and the other dwarves.
Dain Ironfoot King Under the Mountain inherited the throne from Thorin Oakenshield after he died in the Battle of the Five Armies. He led the Dwarves from the time of the events in the Hobbit until Sauron's Attack on Erebor (which was concurrent with the Siege of Minas Tirith in Gondor).
The Elven-king, Thranduil, who ruled the Woodland Elves (Northern part of Mirkwood Forest) put Thorin and Company in prinson. Elves and Dwarves have distrusted each other ever since the First Age (The Hobbit is set toward the end of the Third Age), so Thranduil was not kindly disposed toward Thorin's Company. Thorin further angered Thranduil by refusing to tell him either his name or his business, because Thorin didn't trust Thranduil either.
Thorin is a dwarf, and they love treasure. They finally get their mountain and then here comes humans tramping along, wanting a share in it. To Thorin and company, they just certainly could not have sticky human fingers all over their precious treasure. What can you say, they're dwarves!
Thorin wanted to claim the long-forgotten treasure of the Lonely Mountain, because it had once belonged to the Dwarves, and was taken from them by the dragon Smaug. He was also the rightful king of the Lonely Mountain.
The party of dwarves had fought their way out of the spider's part of the forest. Once they settled down for a rest, they realized that Thorin was gone. He had been taken by the elves before the spiders caught the others.
The goblins were not able to capture Gandalf, who killed several of them when they tried to grab him.
Oh, all sorts! From cave-goblins to wolves to giant spiders to Smaug the Great Dragon himself!
Yes. Thrain was King of the dwarves, father of Thorin

Which time? By the trolls? That would be Balin. By the spiders? We don't know from the story. By the elves? That would be Thorin.
