Who is this old hobbit?
Does he have a part in the books?
Everard Proudfoot
If the old man you"re talking about is the one pictured below, that Noel Appelby. He"s credited as Everard Proudfoot on IMDBThe only one mention of an Everard in the Lord of the Rings and it is one Everard Took, so unfortunately this character does not feature in the books.
Master Everard Took và Miss Melilot Brandybuck got on a table & with bells in their hands began khổng lồ dance the Springle-ring: a pretty dance, but rather vigorous.
It may be worth noting that originally his name was Prospero Took that was later changed lớn Everard
The young Took who danced on the table changes his name from Prospero lớn Everard
It would seem that although this first scene of the character is invented, the later on of our friendly Everard Proudfoot stamping his feet (as noted in
NKCampbell"s answer) is in fact based on old Odo Proudfoot. Who is in fact Frodo"s maternal Grandmother"s aunt"s son.
As per the request from OP below is the footage from which I took the screencap:

Odo Proudfoot
In the book, the character is named Odo Proudfoot, and the scene at Bilbo"s buổi tiệc nhỏ is very similar to the book. Why they would invent a new name when this film character does exactly the same things as the book character is odd.

Everard Proudfoot
He is a Hobbit invented for the films and is played by Noel Appleby.
I believe this is the scene that you are referring to:
Mr. Proudfoot was a grumpy old gaffer, who minded his own business and tended his garden. However, he enjoyed Gandalf"s fireworks and only expressed his disapproval when his wife arrived. He was present at Bilbo"s Farewell Party. He later met the four hobbits as they returned trang chủ from their journey. Everard Proudfoot
While credited in the film as "Everard Proudfoot" it does seem that this character was based on Odo Proudfoot from the books.
