I think it's in the Silmarillion. If not, then it's in HoMe or UT. One of those three definitely contains it. If not, then check Encyclopedia of Arda. It has all the info. that you'll need.

No, nowhere is it stated or otherwise implied that we should view Ungoliant as a Maia. This is sort of an age-old question - if Tolkien actually said it somewhere, it would've been cleared up a long time ago. She might've been an Ainu, but that doesn't mean she's a Maia. 'Maiar' is not a race - it's a group of Ainu with the specific task of assisting the Valar.
