Why hammering in pipes to kitchen sink only and water squirting out of sink sprayer too?

The diverter in the faucet is sticking. Instead of the water coming out of the neck of the faucet it is trying to go two places at the same time. This causes turbulence and the hammering.

Why do pipes rattle when the toilet flushes?
Water hammering on any quick closing valves

That is likely "air hammering" which plagues many home plumbing systems. A plumber can install a simple device that will control it.
Is the foghorn sound in water pipes the same as water hammering?

Could the pipes burst if there is a groan when the toilet is flushed?
Yes they can. In general, however, the "groan" is not as bad as the "hammer." When water is suddenly forced through pipes containing a sharp bend, the water can hit the side of the pipe as if it's a wall. The force of the water can burst the pipes. Most modern plumbing fixtures account for this "hammering." But there are lots of old pipes out there too!
What's wrong if your kitchen sink is not clogged but you have standing water underneath the sink and it appears that no visible pipes are leaking and water is draining from the back side of drywall?
Do you have a 3rd hole for the sprayer? My sink often gets a little water underneath because water trickles down the sprayer hose and underneath the sink when it isn't used properly.There are pipes (not visible) that are inside the wall. That may be the source of your leak. You would have to cut a hole near the draining water to inspect those pipes.ANS 3I see this a lot and the most common cause is the faucet set is leaking internally and seeping between the baseplate and countertop.
Shall you connect kitchen waste and lavatory waste pipes to soil pipe drainage?
Yes.
Why is water hotter in kitchen and not in shower?
The kitchen is probably closest to the water heater and the shower is the farthest. Water cools down the farther it travels through the pipes.

What do you mean exactly? Would the bathroom be directly beneath the kitchen? If so, are you also wondering about being able to share the pipes?

Why does your shower valve rattle when some one shuts off the cold water somewhere else in the house?
Hammering pipes is the result of inertia when moving water causes the pipes to move when a valve is suddenly turned off. Use an anti-hammer device. You can purchase one at most home centers.
Can pipes freezing cause hot water in kitchen but no place else?
That's unlikely, but possible depending on pipe arrangement.
