My thoughts
Message:

1.)  I think we're seeing in Frodo the same reluctance to give up the Ring that we saw with Bilbo in the first chapter of Book I.  Much of what is in this chapter consciously picks up on things in that chapter -- including the reluctance of a Hobbit (once Bilbo, now Frodo) to give up the Ring. 

2.)  Galadriel explains it this way: "As Ring-bearer and as one that has borne it on finger and seen that which is hidden, your sight is grown keener."  Yes, in part I think he is seeing Bilbo "twisted" by the desire for the Ring. 

3.)  I'd say Bilbo's vision was clouded by desire for the Ring; and that is why he instinctively passed his hand over his eyes as his thoughts became clear again.

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
