At the very end, Bilbo comes home to discover that all his belongings were being auctioned off! He had been gone so long that he had been declared legally dead. He therefore goes up to the auctioneer, who demands proof of his ID. Bilbo shows him his signature on the treasure hunting contract he had signed. I think that convinced the auctioneer. Now the poor auctioneer has to track down everyone who had bought items at the auction, buy them back, and return them to Bilbo! How will he do that?

Tolkien does not discuss that. Apparently, though, Bilbo did recover
everything, except some silver spoons.

During the cliamatic battle, Bilbo throws stones at some orcs. He hits then on their heads, and they fall down! Are they relatives of Goliath?

It is expressly stated in “The Lord of the Rings” that hobbits are very
good stone-throwers

I suspect you mean _The Hobbit_, in 'Flies and Spiders'.

�Though slow to quarrel, and for sport killing nothing that lived, they
were doughty at bay, and at need could still handle arms. They shot well
with the bow, for they were keen-eyed and sure at the mark. Not only
with bows and arrows. If any Hobbit stooped for a stone, it was well to
get quickly under cover, as all trespassing beasts knew very well.�
