Gertrude. I suppose he may have told Hamlet not to take revenge on Gertrude because the ghost still has affection for her, or because it would be particularly evil for a son to kill his mother, or because the ghost knows that Gertrude was not privy to Claudius's murder, and the murder is what he wants revenge for. Or some combination of these.
Hamlet is talking to the Ghost, which Gertrude can't see, which looks bizarre to her. For the first time, Gertrude sees Hamlet as seriously mentally ill, not just disturbed. Ironically, it's Gertrude whose perceptions are faulty in this scene.
Hamlet says this in Act I Scene 4 of Hamlet. He is talking to the ghost of his father who up to this point hasn't said a word. Hamlet is trying to figure out how to address him in order to make him speak. If he calls him by his name, Hamlet, will he respond? How about father? King? Royal Dane? Whatever he says, the ghost starts talking right away.
The Hamlet story got into popular culture by means of Belleforest's telling of the tale. However, many scholars believe that there may have been an earlier Hamlet play (which they call the Ur-Hamlet) which was the direct source for Shakespeare's work. There is an intriguing German play on the Hamlet story called Der Brudermord (The Brother-killer) which appears to have been translated from an Elizabethan revenge play very much in the style of Kyd's Spanish Tragedy. Was this the Ur-Hamlet? Could be.
