I don't REALLY think that Tauriel will go back (I wrote her going to Harad, actually), but I do think that she and Thranduil made their peace over it. She understands what he was trying to protect her from, and he understands that, really, he couldn't. I think she could do with some alone time, though, to mourn both the loss of Kili, and the loss of their potential (which, lbw, was pretty vast emotionally AND politically!).
Well, the last conversation we actually SEE between Thorin and Dwalin, is Thorin telling him to go and get Fili and Kili (they are all on Ravenehill, and I think at that point the only person who doesn't know it's a trap is Kili), but then once Fili dies, Thorin goes after Kili, and Dwalin follows him, except he comes BACK to rescue Bilbo, and I like to imagine that Thorin said something to him, because otherwise I can't see him leaving Thorin's side.
