The reason that the eagles did not help was because they were sure they would not succeed without all of them dying, in the Hobbit it is shown that they tend to avoid fighting, and wouldn't even take Bilbo over a camp of Goblins because it was dangerous. In short, the eagles were sure the Great Eye would see them, and they would get shot out of the sky, thus getting the ring to Sauron.
At the end of chapter 17 of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, when it seems as if the goblins will destroy the elves, dwarves, and men, it is the Eagles who appear in the nick of time to aid in the battle, led by the great Eagle of the Misty Mountains.
The eagles, having no immediate allies, do not wilfully go and help out others. Gandalf was the only reason the eagles helped out the Company. The Eagles would make off with the woodmen's sheep and livestock for food, and the woodmen learnt to defend against this, and made great bows of yew. Therefore, even though they would not be stealing livestock as they would just be dropping the Company off, the men would get the wrong impression and open fire on the eagles.Men shoot at them with their bows and attack them.Because of the great bows the men employ to protect their flocks. They think the eagles steal their sheep, and sometimes they do.

The eagles are their own race and are not at anyone's command, except for their creator Manwe, king of the Valar, second only to the creator god Eru Iluvatar himself. They helped the party out because they hate goblins, other than that they owed them no allegiance nor favours.

No, not at all. The Hobbit (even though it came out after Lord of The Rings) is a companion novel to the Lord of the Rings, they occur in the same universe, although The Hobbit predates the events of LOTR.
