The Laketown issue:
You're right, it's an issue that the Company, particularly Bilbo, is not in Laketown during Smaug's attack. However, symbolically, Bilbo *is* there...by way of the thrush as his proxy.
So, PJ might try to emphasize the thrush, and use intercutting to remind us of Bilbo's role in acquiring the intel that the thrush delivers to Bard's ear. PJ might intercut from Bard nocking the Black Arrow, to Bilbo murmuring anxiously to himself about Smaug's weakspot, frantically hoping that there might be a way to convey that intel to someone who could exploit it. The intercutting could be used to create the impression that Bilbo is, symbolically at least, if not literally by some kind of divine or karmic providence, whispering to Bard at that very moment.
Dol Goldur:
My feeling is that the Dol G attack scene will not suffer from the problem with the Laketown attack scene, because Gandalf is the main character in the Dol Goldur side story. The audience will connect with him as part of the Company initially, and a main character throughout the whole series. Also, PJ could intercut those scenes with Bilbo and Co. worrying about Gandalf, hoping he is OK and will reunite with them. The more PJ can connect the Dol G sideplot with Bilbo, the better.
A bag is like a hole that you can carry with you.
