He wasn't happy because the murder in the play was so similar to the one he had committed. Whether he is disturbed, or angry, or confused, or frightened depends on the actor and the director.
If you mean "O, my offence is rank", then it confirms that he did indeed murder his brother, if we didn't get it from his earlier aside "How smart a lash that speech doth give my conscience." But at the same time it makes Claudius a more human figure and less of a monster. He is a man struggling with his guilt.
He didn't like it. He got up in the middle of it and went off to his room to pray about how he had killed his brother.

In terms of the play characters, Claudius is important because he's the villain, opposite Hamlet as the hero. During the play, when we think of the characters as real people, Claudius is important because he's the King.
King Hamlet, in Shakespeare's play, was poisoned by his brother Claudius.
Because Hamlet reenacted in a play his fathers death, which included Claudius because he killed hamlets father by putting poison into Hamlets fathers ear hope this helped
He doesn't put the play on. The players do, at his suggestion, in Act 3 Scene 2.
Hamlet decides to kill Claudius, but first he needs to confirm that what the ghost of his father said was true. So, he devises the play to see if Claudius' guilty conscience will betray him. His suspicion confirmed, he almost murders him him the chapel, but when he sees that Claudius is praying, Hamlet spares him until he can kill Claudius at such a time that it will condemn his soul. The irony is: we learn in soliloquy that Claudius is not able to pray.
Hamlet finds Claudius praying for forgiveness after the play. He decides that if he were to kill Claudius at that moment, Claudius would go to heaven rather than to hell. Hamlet decides to wait until he finds Claudius sinning, in order to kill him.

He doesn't. Hamlet tells Claudius that the name of the play is the Mousetrap, not the other way around. The actual name of the play is The Murder of Gonzago but Hamlet is using it to trap Claudius and so gives it a different name.
No, Claudius is Danish and the Ptolemies are Egyptian. There is nobody called Ptolemy in the play Hamlet.
