From memory, when leaving Rivendell Gimli proposes that they all take an oath. Someone (Elrond?) says that this might not be a good idea as no one can foresee what will happen along the way. Gimli counters that an oath may 'buck up' one's resolve when things get tough. In the end I think that no one makes a formal declaration.
Again if I remember correctly Aragorn says the line regarding "if by my life or death I can save you" or something to Frodo, but this may have been in Bree.
The Boromir thing from Sam doesn't sound right.
