A female hamster shouldn't even be in the same cage as a male hamster,unless you are trying to breed them.If they are together the male will naturally try to mate with her,it doesn't matter to him that she might not be in heat. If a female isn't in heat she will attack any male that is in the cage with her.Also if you are putting 2 hamsters together with the intention of breeding you should always hand breed. Hand breeding is when you wait until the female is in heat and you put her and the male in neutal territory. Always wear gloves and have a ruler handy so that if need be you can separate them from fighting,although this rarly happens.After they actually start to mate supervise them for 40 minutes and then put both back in their own cages.Approximately 16 days later you should have babies.

They don't.

Syrian hamsters are solitary creatures, they will not tolerate sharing the same territory with another one. Female hamsters are receptive to males only when they are in heat and ready to breed, otherwise they will attack a male, and possibly even kill it.

A male hamster could play with a female hamster depending on the aggresion of the Hamster. Hamsters tend to be mild tempered but can sometimes be aggresive.

Before you try to make your Hamsters Play, Introduce then and let them decide if they want to play or not.

Female hamster sometimes eat their young too. This is happens sometimes, if you want you can separate the baby from its parents and care for it in a special way (can be found in a book or you can Google it). The male hamster shouldn't be with the babies either way. The male should only be with a female if they are to breed. If you want the cannibalism to stop, separate the male from the children.

no but your hamster does need a friend. Your hamster does not necessarily need a male hamster unless you need to breed it. It could just have a friend hamster boy or girl.
