Lobelia,
Tolkien has indeed written something about the Entwives being killed, but at a later time he said something like he thought the Entwives were either killed or captured, but he wasn't sure.
I agree about Gandalf!
It is still not definite that Saruman was the actual man Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli saw near Fangorn and it's also unexplained if the horses were scared away or just wandered off to their chieftain.
Saruman did indeed visit Fangorn alot and talked much with Treebeard, always being interested and polite, but he was already spying and learned many secrets of wisdom from Treebeard.
