Read The Hobbit then LOTR. They more or less go together, and were completed by JRRT. Then read the Silm and HoME, which were written by JRRT, but were never fully completed by JRRT.

I think the Balrog would beat a Nazgul (with the possible exception of the Witch-king of Angmar) in a one on one battle.

I'm not sure if JRRT ever addressed these questions, but I see no reason why Legolas did not participate in the Battle of the Five Armies.

Perhaps it was Legolas who ordered the Dwarves capture in...

I would say he was greatly diminished. I don't think anyone using a Palantri had much to fear because he would have been to weak to notice he was being scrutinized. And though not killed, I believe...

I've alway's felt the staves to be symbolic. Though the Istari could use them to channel energy in focused manner as needed. Which makes them a tool, not an object of power, and therefore easily...

Looks like I'm jumping on the bandwagon (so far) and going with Merry & Eowen. I think Elrian's point about the Blade of Westernesse makes the strongest suit as to why.
