1) In the film, Bilbo is running from Gollum, he squeezes through a narrow opening in the caves and loses most of his waistcoat buttons, falls down into the cave beyond, and the ring slips onto his finger. Then Gollum runs through this same opening and looks around and completely fails to notice Bilbo, who is lying on the ground looking straight up at him. Gollum, having ascertained that Bilbo is not there, continues further along that cave, and Bilbo starts to follow him. This is how Bilbo is shown figuring out the Ring's power to make him invisible.
2) Thorin's backstory is reason enough for him to be after Thorin. But why he would decide this was the right time to get revenge after all these years, and why he would be seeking Thorin along the path the company is taking on their quest rather than in the Blue Mountains where it seems the Dwarves have settled, is not explained. My own sense is that the movie suggests there is a story here - since Gandalf and Thorin have a discussion, when the Wargs first show up, of whom Thorin may have told of his quest.
3) I take it that first sentence of his book is "In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit." Some of Bilbo's other dialogue in the movie is explanation and reminiscence that he does not immediately write down.
And I had the same reaction, that I wanted to think about it a bit and then see the movie again because I seemed to be missing some things.

I think it might. I think Gandalf, in the film context, either

If you look closely at invisible-Bilbo when Gollum first misses him
