How does Hamlet's soliloquy differ from Shakespeare's?
I don't think you understand something very basic about writers. They are not necessarily characters in the works they write. We do not worry about whether Edward loves Bella or Stephanie Meyer. We do not ask whether Obi Wan Kenobi speaks better than George Lucas. And Shakespeare does not have soliloquys, although he writes them for his characters like Hamlet. Shakespeare is not a character in any play he wrote (although he is sometimes a character in other peoples' plays, as he is in Shakespeare in Love). In any case, "Hamlet's soliloquy" is meaningless. Hamlet has five soliloquys: "O that this too too solid flesh would melt", "O what a rogue and peasant slave am I", "To be or not to be, that is the question", "Now is the very witching time of night" and "How all occasions do inform against me." Unless you specify which one you are talking about, nobody can answer your question.

What specifically has happened in scene iv to prompt the thoughts Hamlet expresses in his soliloquy?
Hamlet is notorious for having a number of soliloquys. You need to specify which one.
Why didn't Shakespeare give a soliloquy to Ophelia?
Good question. Soliloquys are usually reserved for major characters, which is to say, the protagonist and the antagonist. In Hamlet, Hamlet the protagonist gets five soliloquys and Claudius the antagonist gets one. In Othello, it's the other way around: Iago gets all the soliloquys. Minor characters rarely get them. An early and peculiar example to the contrary is Launce's scene with his dog in The Two Gentlemen of Verona, but that was supposed to be a comic turn. You can see why this is. Suppose Shakespeare had written a soliloquy for Ophelia after she has been set as the bait in the trap for Hamlet. Perhaps she could talk about how she is torn between obeying her father and her love of Hamlet. Perhaps she could speculate about the meaning of loyalty. Perhaps she could talk about how she feels about being used in this way. If she did any of this she would suddenly stop being a supporting character and become a main character, because her conflicts and problems are brought to the fore and become what the audience is concentrating on and cares about. Indeed the play could become the play Ophelia rather than the play Hamlet.

What is to be or not to be?
It is the opening line of a famous Shakespearean soliloquy from the play Hamlet, Act 3 Scene 1. Some people think that in this speech Hamlet debates whether it is better to kill himself, or go on living in misery. Others think that he is talking about whether to risk death by pursuing his revenge. Still more would say that it is not about Hamlet specifically at all, but rather about the human tendency to hang on to life no matter how awful it is (You will note that, unlike all his other soliloquys, Hamlet never uses the words "I" or "me" in this one).
