Consider Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's role in the play. Why might Shakespeare have created characters like this?
They're not that similar. Guildenstern admits to Hamlet that they were sent for. Not Rosencrantz. Guildenstern jokes with Hamlet. Rosencrantz doesn't. Hamlet takes Guildenstern aside for the "recorder lesson" after the 'Mousetrap' play. Not Rosencrantz. More could be mentioned. When all the details are observed, they're pretty distinct characters.
Who becomes Claudius's new ally in the plot against Hamlet?
Polonius is about the only friend Claudius had and maybe the faithful guards and courtiers. Though even his allegiance is questionable, as he also would have served Hamlet Sr. similarly. Truly, Claudius does not have any notable friends in the play as most of the major roles are taken by his subordinates and enemies. For instance, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern followed their orders until their doom; however they were really just doing their jobs. It can be argued that Gertrude was Claudius' friend, considering she was his wife. But it is possible that like Polonius, she just shifted loyalties to suit who ever was in the seat of power.

In the last scene of the play, before Hamlet and Laertes are to have their swordfighting match, Hamlet makes a prepared speech of apology beginning with the words "Give me your pardon, sir.

How does the name Hamlet relate to Shakespeare?
He wrote the play Hamlet. You might think that the name was developed from his son's name- Hamnet, who died about five years before he wrote the play. But you'd be wrong. Shakespeare's son was named after his neighbour Hamnet Sadler, and his daughter, Hamnet's twin, was named for Hamnet Sadler's wife Judith Sadler. The character in the play was called Hamlet (or some variation on that) for three hundred and fifty years before Shakespeare got hold of it.Thinking that Shakespeare named the character after his son is like thinking that he named the main character in King John after his father, or one of the main female characters in Henry VIII, Anne Bullen, after his wife.
