Re: Gollum and Valinor...
I think that Gollum would despair if the ring was destroyed. I don't know if he'd so much be depressed as he'd lose the last strings of sanity that held him together for so long. My bet is that he would turn on Frodo who he'd see as responsible for the destruction of the ring and Sam who had treated him so miserably the entire time (also because they're the only ones available). I think it is also possible that has the ring was tossed into the fire he may have tried to leap after it in a futile attempt to grab it and be killed anyway.
Either that or he'd be subdued, withdraw into himself and basically shut down, in which case I believe that Gandalf would bring him over to Valinor, through pity. Of course, they may consider bringing Smeagol to Valinor bringing Evil to it, for Smeagol was fairly evil in his own right, and then kill him or desert him, leaving him in Arda.
