Actually, no they didn't. Gandalf didn't want to go to Moria in the books either, but he suggested it (yes, the movie changed this a bit but the point is that he didn't want to go).
I don't remember the plans for Helms Deep.
Gandalf couldn't solve the Moria riddle in the book and it was Merry who triggered the memory.
I don't recall Gandalf helping the ents...however it has been ages since I have read TTT
In the Movies:
Gandalf brought back Eomer
He drove the Nazgul away from Faramir
He fought the Balrog enabling the comapny to attack.
The preview is taken out of context. To judge Gandalf's actions we must see the entire scene. It's silly to judge a half formed scene that leaves you on a cliff hanger.
