I agree that she is truly curious about this hugely important decision. . . the one decision to which his waking thought has little answer. Though I would have liked (and it may yet happen) his commentary on it feeling right. . . on feeling in his heart that Bilbo should be a part of this quest. . . that his involvement is somehow very important. As to the other things. . . I think the problem is it is TOO easily interpreted as her sanctioning what Gandalf is doing, rather than deferring to any wisdom of his.
"Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!" "Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

A continuing vexation over the seeming lack of reverance shown by Galadriel to Gandalf, despite her knowledge of what he is and her high esteem of him. I hope they will rectify this in the coming films.

Elrond knew. Cirdan and Glorfindel knew. Others of the Eldar may have guessed, but they did not definitively know until the end of The Third Age.
