Both the Orcs and the Watcher knew about the Ring (or at least Frodo's importance) so I see no reason to believe that the Balrog wasn't after the Ring.

I don't think that the Balrog was under Sauron's control - even though it was allied with his Orcs - as Sauron could surely have used the Balrog elsewhere, with a greater efficiency.
