The Night King can warg, it was convenient that one White Walker remained for capture. I'm pretty sure the whole thing was engineered to get him a dragon. And Jon was the perfect bait.
I'm not buying that. Unless he could read minds and see that Dany was coming with three dragons then he wouldn't have known that she would show up to rescue the party with them. I would think he saw the dragons when Dany showed up with them and thought "Hey, I'd like me one of those" and made it happen.
I saw a theory someone put up that was interesting, although i can't remember the first event so it might not have happened.
Apparently, Bran saw the night king and his army at that mountain/lake area, prior to hardhome. Meaning that they walked all that way to go murder at hardhome, and then walked back to the mountain, which would hold up to the idea of him waiting for the events of the episode to happen as there had to be some reason for them to keep returning to that mountain.
