By no means I want to diminish Pippin's credit. It's only... Well, I can hardly believe that in the seconds he had, frightened and disgusted, he could bring together Ring - Gollum - his imprisonment in Mordor - Grishnakh knowing about it...
It's great enough that Pippin guessed Grishnakh's intentions and passed the knowledge fast and safely to Merry. Two heads are better than one.

It's the second time when Pippin imitated Gollum, I think, he was trying to put some idea in the Ork's head. But this time he was sure it was Grishnakh's weak spot from his previous reaction. And together with Merry's mention of Saruman, it set the Ork off.
