Going strictly by the text of The Hobbit, Gandalf (and Elrond) most likely did know that the Necromancer was Sauron. Even when the company was still at Bag End, Gandalf knew that the strength of the Necromancer was far beyond the might of all of the Dwarves combined. When he and Elrond discuss the departure of the Necromancer from Mirkwood, they do seem to know exactly who he really is.
Saruman's magic: We only see Saruman use his power after his fall from grace. I doubt that, when he was still a 'good' wizard, he would have ever used his magic to thoroughly dominate another as he did to King Theoden. That is not to say that the devices or weapons that Saruman conceived to use against the forces of Dol Guldur were not destructive. They may well have been so. Even Gandalf's flaming pinecones wreaked destruction amongst a pack of Wargs.
'There are older and fouler things than Orcs in the deep places of the world.' - Gandalf the Grey, The Fellowship of the Ring
