They were close to him, and knew that something was afoot, but not knowing what that was, they had Sam spy on him. (In the book) In the movies, they knew because Sam was roped into it without a choice by Gandalf, and Merry and Pipin knew only beause they ran into him, and desired to help when the saw that danger was following him.
Frodo did volunteer. It was Gandalf's belief that the ring chose him, and possibly knew it would destroy him to take it away. Also, Gandalf had a high regard for Hobbits, and that they could resist it's temptation longer than any of the other races, because of their lack of desire for power.
Frodo already knew that Gollum was Smeagol because Gandalf told him earlier in the Fellowship of the Ring. When Gollum hears his old name, he realizes who he really is and that his master Frodo is the one who takes care of him now and no longer needs "Gollum".
In the 3rd Chapter of The Hobbit 'A Short Rest', Gandalf and Thorin show their swords to Elrond at Rivendell. He tells them they were made by the High Elves of the West. In Riddles in the Dark, Bilbo pulls out his sword and it glows in the dark. He thought it rather splendid to be wearing a sword that glowed the way Gandalf and Thorin's swords did. Bilbo's little sword, which he later gives the name 'Sting', is of the same design and has the same magic.
He did not like the thought of endangering his friends for his sake any longer. He knew that if they followed him much longer, the Ring would eventually corrupt them all, every last one of them (even Merry and Pippin - even Sam!) and he knew he just couldn't do it to them. He loved them, that was why he left them. He heard the answer from Gandalf: "I wish the ring had never come to me, I wish none of this had happened." "So do all who see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
Because Gandalf "Needed someone to share in on an adventure!" is one option Because Gandalf knew Bilbo was a descendent from "The Old Took" and Gandalf knew that "there is more to this hobbit that meets the eye" so Gandalf knew his potential and Hobbits suprise you and you need a hobbits cunning and bravery to help you
The lord of the eagles save bilbo and the party, because he knew Gandalf and by doing this he was repaying a favor to Gandalf.
This is kind of an un-answerable question. It will vary from person to person. Personally, I knew about Gandalf before Yoda, but they are both awesome movie characters.
Frodo knew this ever since his talk with Gandalf at Bag End. Gandalf told Frodo of Gollum's history, and the sad fate of what happened to Sméagol and Déagol.

Bilbo went on an adventure with the thirteen dwarves, Fili, Kili, Balin, Dwalin, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin Oakenshield, and Gandalf the Wizard was with them some of the time, too.

Yes, the narrator says that Gandalf “had not expected this sudden assault,” but he tells the others that it “has come more swiftly than I guessed,” and knows who is leading the attack. (It’s interesting the way the narrator resolutely refuses to claim knowledge of Gandalf’s thoughts, saying things like “How much Gandalf knew cannot be said.”) So since he knew that goblins and wargs were on their way, you would think he might want to tell them earlier and suggest that they should wait on fighting each other lest they do all the goblins’ work for them, yeah? As it is, Gandalf’s “jump in front of charging dwarves” solution is very dramatic but not very sensible. Moving back to the start of the chapter, I again thought Gandalf’s actions were suboptimal. Yes, he was able to keep Thorin from throwing Bilbo over the wall, but what if Thorin’s first reaction had been to stab Bilbo in the neck? Hard for even magic to deal with that. One possibly better option would have been for Gandalf to do the talking from the start. He might have had a better chance at snapping Thorin out of it—he certainly couldn’t do worse than Bard, who backs Thorin into a corner when he asks, “Is there then nothing for which you would yield any of your gold?”, before revealing the Arkenstone, and then fuels Thorin’s anger by not answering Thorin’s question about how they got the Arkenstone. Of course, Gandalf seems to be acting in agreement with Bard, holding up the Arkenstone right on cue, so maybe he wouldn’t have been a better choice.
Gandalf tells Aragorn about Frodo before he sees Saruman. Aragorn knew about Gollum before hand because he had been tracking him and knew of his escape from Mirkwood and his capture in Mordor, where Frodo's identity was revealed.
Many people knew that the One Ring existed, but they didn't know that Bilbo had it, except for Gollum. Gandalf suspected that Bilbo had the ring, but he wasn't sure.
