The story goes that during the afternoon fighting, a rebel sharpshooter out on the skirmish line climbed onto the roof on an abandoned house, took aim and shot a Union surgeon, Dr. C.C.V.A. Crawford of the 102nd Pennsylvania, The bullet tore through Crawford's leg. Crawford was standing on the parapet right next to Lincoln." But my favorite Lincoln quote was said a little later when one of Lincoln's cabinet members told him "Mr. President, if you will look over in that direction, you can see just where the rebels are." He replied: "My impression is that if I am where I can see the rebels, they are where they can see me." He was no fool.

The Surgeon: Dr. Cornelius C.V.A. Crawford
The "Not So Smart" Gentleman: President Abraham Lincoln
The Battle: Battle of Fort Stevens

Regular question:

The assistant surgeon was Dr. Cornelius C. V. A. Crawford, the "fool" was none other that Pres. Abraham Lincoln and the battle was the Battle of Fort Stevens.

Sources:
"At the July 12, 1864 Battle of Fort Stevens, north of Washington, DC, he was standing next to President Abraham Lincoln in the fort as the President observed the skirmishing between the Fort's defenders and members of Lieutenant General Jubal A. Early's Confederate forces that had invaded Maryland. Doctor Crawford was shot through the leg by a sharpshooter, causing the President to reluctantly leave the parapet for his own safety."
https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=90598161

"On July 12, 1864, President Lincoln stood atop the parapet of the fort to witness the battle and came under direct fire of Confederate sharpshooters. It is the only time in American history in which a sitting president came under direct fire from an enemy combatant. Many individuals claimed to be the one to encourage President Lincoln down from the parapet. The most notable individual was a young officer named Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. His remarks to the president were short and straightforward:"Get down, you **** fool!"

Bonus:

I hope I have understood the question right that it refers to an official agreement. If so, I think the required answers are that General John A. Dix for the Union and General Daniel Harvey Hill for the Confederacy were negotiating. The agreement was called The Cartel of July 22, 1863

"Finally, on the 12th of July, General John A. Dix was authorized by Secretary Stanton to negotiate for the exchange, but was cautioned in every possible way to avoid any recognition of the Confederate Government. The cartel in force between the United States and Great Britain during the War of 1812 was suggested as a basis. General Lee was informed of General Dix's appointment on July 13th, and the next day announced that he had appointed General D. H. Hill as commissioner on the part of the Confederacy. The commissioners met on the 17th of July and adjourned on the following day for further instructions from their Governments, and finally, July 22d, came to an agreement."

[William G Hendry]

Main = Abe Lincoln = the fool
Surgeon = Dr. Cornelius cva Crawford
Battle= Fort Stevens

of July 10th, President Lincoln decided to drive out to Fort Stevens in his carriage the next day. He arrived just as the 25th New York Cavalry began its march across the battlefield. As the soldiers marched, both proud and astounded, they cheered, "Hurrah for Lincoln!"http://www.lincolncottage.org/a-close-call-at-fort-stevens/#_edn1 Soon, however, Lincoln and his men were exposed to gunfire. A Union surgeon standing next to Lincoln, in fact, was wounded. At this moment, according to legend, someone yelled at the President to "get down, You **** fool!" This quote is most often attributed to future Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., though many believe it to be apocryphal.[ii]
