I think when the Eagles decide to help in Middle Earth

...one simply accepts it without conditions. To do otherwise would be to risk being set down as immediately as is convenient for the Eagles. I simply cannot imagine Gandalf saying something like, "Excuse me, Mr. Eagle, but can you stop so we can check on Thorin." And if he dared, I believe they'd all be left wherever they set down for the check.

Exceedingly short night with the Eagles (and a couple others maybe)

It's a deliberate stylistical choice.

yep, stylistic, and perhaps it can be trivially explained as a symptom of the fairy-talism ? maybe that's an excuse ;) //

Perhaps the eagles need to stay in the air for a couple of hours for a reason?

Go to a high peak, set Thorin down, have Gandalf check on him and then fly again

Maybe they had a rough night and they hate the flying Eagles.
