Correct. The "House" is Bag-End.

That would make Grishnakh and Gorbag contenders as hobbit-binders. Frodo was only bound in the earlier drafts, but I'm taking 'Bound and Gagged' as a metaphorical expression for 'captured.'
Well, 'gagged' is for the words, but 'bound' is 100% literal. (Also neither of those are in the password.)

Ugh... "meow", I suppose, if you insist. But also yes.

Both have ANOR for sun.
It is neither of these. But that A is indeed a binder, not a bindee.

Glam Rock Hoth it is, and as Pervinca says...

All Orcs are wretched. ^_^ Nothing deeper to it, it's just the straight clue.

Weekend. But it's quite fun to know that 48 hours without my presence is too much to bear!

BELEG - Speaker of a spell: "Become a limb!"
OUTLAWS - The opposites of your wife's parents are wicked.
UMARTH - A son named his father, but hesitated at the beginning of the world.
NOM - A tasty king.
DAUR - Sounds grim, heir to the house.
ANNATAR - Before the road, a woman can go back and forth and seem fair.
NELYAFINWE - A confused alien with a Greek eye, and the first High King? I'm seeing red.
DARK ENEMY - In the shadows, hear me initially name my ideas for a villain.
GOLLUM - Muffin lost his tail, found a big stick, turned around and went down into a cave.
10. A - Link up and profit in a break in the sun.
GOTHMOG - A cat in eyeshadow definitely can't fly, but...
GLAMHOTH - The wretched band with an icy world covered in glitter.
ERNIL I PHERIANNATH - The Elvish fingermarks left by the childlike, or close enough for the youngest.
14. D - Take a note at the top of the park, direct to the start of the word, and hide from him.

Beleg & Outlaws
Umarth (Hurin) - Gothmog
Nom (nomnom) - Annatar (Thu/Gorthaur/Sauron)
Nelyafinwe (Maedhros) - Dark Enemy (Morgoth)
Gollum - Daur (Frodo)
Ernil i Pheriannath (Pippin) - Glamhoth (Orcs)
??? - ???

Two to go, and by chance they're a pair! One is an English name, one isn't.
