Concerning the dwarves that were in the east, I've come up with a theory. During the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, there is a race of Easterlings that are short, bearded and wield axes. Doesn't this sound like dwarves? Maybe they bred with the men that still lived out there (I suppose all of them didn't go west).
Also, both Alatar and Pallando should be hanging around over there.
