he DID take them captive on little reason

The dwarves trespassed on his land, seemingly ambushed his people at their feasts, riled up the spiders and when questioned, tell him nothing. That's suspicious behaviour and Thranduil has every right to be extremely suspicious because he's living in a forest infested with gigantic spiders that he's also sharing with Sauron. Faramir did the SAME THING with Frodo and Sam when he found them trepassing in Ithilien, and once he understood what they were doing there, he let them go.

he didn't help the refugees from Erebor when they first fled

That was a film invention,jsk. The closest Tolkien came to discussing Thranduil's relationship with Erebor was to mention that Thorin was planning to seek an alliance with Thranduil, Laketown and Dain to oust Smaug, which suggests that if there was any issues between Thranduil and Erebor, it was so minor that even Thorin was prepared to put it aside.
