'Concerning "The Hoard"' says only that Thingol sent for the Dwarves of Nogrod and Belegost. It does not say that the emissaries and craftsmen who came to Menegroth were from both cities, much less that both groups took part in the attack.
Since Belegost and Nogrod are so frequently mentioned together, it also seems at least possible to me that mentioning both of them in
CtH was a slip of the pen, and that he had momentarily forgotten the decision that Belegost was not involved.
Lacking a more definitive statement about it, I'm inclined to retain the story that only the Dwarves of Nogrod were involved.
About the hunt: I can see the argument either way. I'll agree to whichever consensus others come to on this one.
