It seems to me that since Thorin questions Gandalf about his promise of not taking his horse into Mirkwood and Gandalf says "I will look after that. I am not sending the horse back, I am riding it.' " the thought conveyed to the reader by the context of that entire scene is not that Gandalf is riding back to Beorn's house but that Gandalf is riding to some place else but is technically keeping his promise to Beorn about not taking the horse into Mirkwood but he's not sending it back to Beorn at that time. And that's the thing he will have to 'look after' with Beorn when the time came. And if I recall correctly the text doesn't say Gandalf went riding back in the direction of Beorn's house when he left the Dwarves party but in a different direction altogether.

Did Beorn know of Gandalf's mission in Hobbit?

Oh, I'm sure that Gandalf would not deliberately cross Beorn...
