The obvious that you note -- Bilbo -- is in both. He is the title character, but as Drolefille suggests, he was 51 in The Hobbit, 60 years younger than we see him on his "eleventy-first" (111th) birthday at the beginning of LOTR.
The only other "repeat" characters that I can think of are some of the dwarves, such as Gloin (Gimli's father) who are present at Elrond's Council in the book, but aren't really brought out in the movie. Also there are the Sackville-Bagginses, but again they don't have much of a presence in the movie. And Gwahir, the eagle, is in both, but he's CGI.
Frodo, of course, had not yet been born when The Hobbit takes place.
