I believe that the reason Frodo is so tolerant with Gollum is because Gandalf's words weight so heavily on him ("It's pity that stayed Bilbo's hand..."etc.)
He, as well as others, take Gandalf very seriously and I think that he believed deep inside that Gollum was truly serving a purpose of some sort. Which he surely does.
As for Gollum's redemption. Well, I wouldn't necessarily call it that. It's just that his part was completed. I wouldn't call it redemption because it was his greed that strove him to attack Frodo. Gollum had no intention of throwing into Mount Doom himself. I think it was just his fate. Others will surely disagree, but that is just my opinion (I am not a Gollum fan as others here are... sorry guys [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] )
