I think that legends on Balrog's would've been known to most Elves, sicne they were such a menace and so maybe Legolas and many elves problably would have heard vivid descriptions of them and would have sensed the Balrog's immense power.
On the Dwarves knowing it was a Balrog. I think that few of the Longbeards would have been involved in the war of the Jewels whilst the legends of the Nogrodian and Belegostain refugees may have been soon forgotten and discarded.
