I have never not liked Bellamy. I understand that some of the things he did were a little extreme and even down right selfish. However, I understand why he did the things he did. Same with Murphy, Charlotte, Raven, Abby, Finn, Jasper and Clarke. They have all done things that have been questionable and made the audience want to hate them.

Mount Weather is not evil. Jason has even said so himself. Mount Weather are just like the Grounders. Some good some bad. Some with their own plans and others who are honest. It's not hard to figure out why Dante would need the 100. He needs them to stay in Mount Weather so that his people can survive. You have to remember that the gene pool in Mount Weather is getting very limited. No new genes have been introduced and yes, this would have happened on the Ark too.

At some point new genes need to be introduced or you are going to have problems. Now that the Mountain Men know the Ark is down and their are survivors from it, I don't see why they wouldn't try and bring them into their society. Not only for the chance to increase the gene pool but to also study them. Think about it.

The "Sky people" have lived in space for 97 years. Exposed to MORE radiation than what was on Earth and they have survived. Scientists would want to study this. They would want to try and take samples from the 100 and figure out if their could be away for the Mountain Men to go back to the surface without dying.

I have a feeling that they are conducting experiments on how to survive radiation.

As for Clarke wanting to escape, I said it before. She just wants to get back to the people she left behind. She wants to go bury Finn, Bellamy, and everyone else who died, clean up camp and basically go home. To her Mount Weather is not her home and she doesn't feel safe there.

Clarke probably feels safer in the camp waiting for Grounders to attack because that's all she's known since being on Earth. So for these Mountain Men to suddenly be kind and helpful her first reaction is to reject it. As Clarke said, "This is too good to be true". There is no way Dante and the Mountain Men are allowing the 100 to stay without ulterior motives.
