1.Speed like a winged thing?

2.Tom could have been the fool/jester of Iluvatar -always singing and wearing ridiculously large boots. I'm more confused about Goldberry- doesn't fit with Fangorn's rhyme

3.I must say that I used to think balrogs had wings because it had one in the animated film picture book. Anyway, if the Balrog had wings it could have flown out of the chasm (which was plenty wide enough for it to spread its wings no matter how large) after dragging Gandalf in with him. Drop the whip and fly out- the chasm was very very deep so plenty of time to fly on out of there...sorry, just a new thought that came to me.
