I think that Galadriel knew that a Balrog lived in Moria. Remember that when the FOTR meet Celeborn and her, and after Aragorn tells them about the fall of Gandalf, Celeborn reffers to the Balrog as Durin's Bane and how it was a great evil against Lorien.

And, I can think of several reasons why a Balrog would want to go to Lorien. First of all, to kill elves. Do you need more reasons? To expand it's kingdom, possibly.
