Yes, they had the right to not help their friends.

Who cares what they think? All that should've mattered is the situation at hand. Olwe should've considered the factors involved and the possible outcomes and weighed his decision on those things rather than placing all weight with the wishes of the Valar.

Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps the flame Eru set in his heart was indeed greater than the Valar knew (as Feanor stated), and caused him to be the only one bringing about the ultimate designs of Eru in every situation, whether it could be done in a harmless way or seemingly had to be done in a negative way because of the resistance of others.
