No. There would be some reference to the Elves and Men mixing there. But there is not. They are separate races, and though they trade, they are not related.
In the Hobbit, King Thranduil of Mirkwood, the Wood Elves' king, liked his wine from Dorwinion. His wine was also imported by the Elves of Mirkwood in barrels down the Forest River from Long lake.
They were tired and hungry with no food or water. At least with the elves, they were fed.Because they had lost their way in Mirkwood and were on the brink of starvation.
This question is difficult to answer, since they aren't always mentioned as individuals. In several scenes, we are simply told that elves were doing something, without being told how many. The number of elves at Rivendell is probably not all that great, since it is described as a single house (although presumably a large one). The wood elves are rather more numerous, sending an impressive army to the lake and the mountain after the dragon is slain.
They took them to the halls of the Elven King in his hall, a large cave at the edge of Mirkwood. The wood elves of Mirkwood, in the Hobbit, took the thirteen dwarves to their king's halls, where they were locked in by cellars and a magic gate.
As neighbors in a hostile region, they maintain trade agreements but keep to themselves as a general rule. Nevertheless, Elves do visit Laketown. It is doubtful that lake men visit the Elf King. They each value their Independence, and the Elf King is fond of their wine.

Spiders, trolls and wood-elves
In The Hobbit, they are simply identified as "Wood Elves". Later, they were further identified as being Silvan Elves led by the Sindar, Thranduil (who is the father of Legolas).

Wood elves, high elves, dark elves, light elves.
Elves that live in the woods (Lorien and Mirkwood mainly). They consist of mostly Silvan elves, meaning they never made the journey to the blessed realm, or Beleriand. Their leaders though, are of Noldorin or Sindarin descent.

After he breaks them out of the wood elves prison ....Thorin finally admits that Gandalf was correct, and tells Bilbo he IS what Gandalf said he would be.

Lake-Town's actual name in The Hobbit is Esgaroth, built of wood and situated entirely in the Long Lake.Esgaroth/Lake-Town is not to be confused with the city of Dale, built between the Lake and the Lonely Mountain (Mount Erebor). Dale was destroyed by Smaug when he took over the Lonely Mountain, but was resettled after the dwarves reclaimed Erebor and Smaug was killed.
