elves know a lot, know about what is going on among the people of the land, know the land well, and learn what is going on quick as the water flows. pg. 50 in the 1997 edition of The Hobbit.
I would think that he's referring to the imprisonment of the dwarves. The dungeon of the elves is underground.
Yes, in chapter 9 the dwarves (but not Bilbo) were imprisoned by the Wood-elves in Mirkwood forest.
Bilbo was enchanted by the opportunity to spend time with the elves. The Dwarves were suspicious of elves, always had been. the Dwarves were also mad at the Elves when they first entered Rivendell because the Elves were making fun of their beards.
Bilbo stays invisible for weeks listening to conversations of the Wood-Elves. The king's first man<-? and a guard test some wine in the basement of the Wood-Elf compound. They fall asleep and Bilbo steals the guard's keys. Bilbo unlocks the cells of the dwarves and he puts them in empty tubs that the Wood-Elves were about to throw out through their river disposal system, (I can't quite remember what it was called), and the elves who throw out the tubs threw out the dwarves without even looking in them. Bilbo had one problem though, he wasn't in a tub, so he had to grab on to a barrel and float into the lake where the dwarves and Bilbo are accepted and fed and housed.
The dwarves were captured and imprisoned by the elves in Mirkwood. Bilbo had to keep entering to form a plan and carry it out.

so he knows what the is good about them and what is not good about them.
The elves.
How lucky he was to see the Lonely Mountain. The roads had all been closed off and he had stumbled on about the only way to reach Laketown.
They escape in barrels sent downriver to be filled.
Bilbo kept from being captured by the Wood Elves in Mirkwood by using The Ring to turn himself invisible. He slipped in after the company of Elves that had captured the other members of The Company (namely, the twelve dwarves) as the Elves were escorting the dwarves into the Elven fortress.
as Bilbo was wanting to make peace so there is no war
Bilbo met the Dwarves in Chapter 1. He met Trolls in Chapter 2. He met the elves of Elrond's house in Chapter 3. These would have been mostly Noldorin elves, but Sindarin elves and Sylvan elves would have been present also.
No. Bilbo Baggins did not die; he, Frodo and the rest of the Ring-bearers went with the elves into the Undying-Lands. Undying = does not die.
Bilbo Baggins
No, elves do not eat hobbits. Orcs might eat hobbits, but not elves. When the dwarves and Bilbo have a reception at Lord Elrond's home, it is seen that the elves serve them a strictly vegetarian meal. Maybe an indication that Elves are herbivores
the dwarves were captured by thorn and the wood elves long enough for bilbo to help them escape
