I don't think Bilbo ever found out what the Ring really was.

Let's give Bilbo a little bit of credit. He was at the Council of Elrond where everything was spelled out as plainly as could be. Just because he did not totally understand the dangers of the journey does not mean that he did not understand that it was Sauron's Ring. Neither did Frodo & Co. understand the danger of the journey. He was much wiser than your average hobbit. He'd been among Dwarves and Elves and had seen quite a bit of the world. To say nothing about facing down a dragon. I think he had a better grasp of greater affairs than most.
