What does he intend to make his sole preoccupation
He plans to trap Claudius by making him reveal his guilt over killing Hamlet's father.
Hamlet escaped Claudius's trap by cleverly altering the contents of the letters that were to be sent to England, which originally ordered Hamlet's execution. He substituted his own name with that of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, leading to their deaths instead. This quick thinking allowed him to return to Denmark and confront Claudius, turning the tables on his uncle's plot against him.
I think its 'The Mouse Trap'. It's called "Murder Of Gonzago" but Hamlet calls it mousetrap.
"Springes" (not springs) are traps. Hamlet is all about people trying to trap other people. First we have Claudius and Polonius trying to trap Hamlet into making some admission about the cause of his apparent lunacy. The bait they use in these traps is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, then Ophelia, and finally Gertrude. Meanwhile Hamlet sets a trap "The Mousetrap" to get a confession of guilt out of Claudius and it works. By the end of act three, Hamlet and Claudius no longer need to set traps for information. Claudius sends Hamlet to England to collect Danegeld, but it is really a trap to kill Hamlet. Hamlet is not caught, but Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are "hoist with their own petard" and die. Claudius and Laertes set new traps for Hamlet, but these end up killing Laertes and Gertrude and exposing Claudius, enabling Hamlet to kill him without opposition from whoever is left alive at that point.
It is called "The Murder of Gonzago". But Hamlet gives it a new name, "The Mousetrap", because he intends to trap Claudius with it.

The Mouse Trap
The Murder of Gonzago.
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.
Hamlet is a Danish prince, so he is in Denmark.
