How does the first act of hamlet act as a presupposition of the rest of the play?
A presupposition is something you suppose to be the case before you even start something. Therefore the first act of anything cannot by definition be a presupposition to the action of the play.
If you are asking whether or how the action in the first act is necessary for the understanding of the rest of the play, this is, I am afraid to tell you, the case in any well-written play. The first act of every play introduces the main characters and lays out what their problems are, which are worked out in the succeeding acts and a final conclusion reached at the end. As Aristotle said, "Every play must have a beginning, a middle, and an end." He was a master of the obvious, Aristotle was.

The premise or main idea of Hamlet is?
At the very beginning of the play Hamlet (the prince of Denmark) is informed by his father's ghost that Hamlet's uncle and step-father (Claudius and current king of Denmark) murdered him (the old king) and married his (Hamlet's) mother, a combination of crimes that he (Hamlet) is horrified to realize. The rest of the play is concerned with Hamlet determining how best to achieve his revenge. He first seeks to confirm Claudius' guilt, after all ghosts aren't considered reliable sources. Having done this via a play-within-a-play-sort-of-trap Hamlet thought to kill Claudius while he was confessing at the altar but at the last moment decided that this was too good of a death for such crimes and thought up a protracted pretense of madness that tore the family apart and left a few innocent people dead. During this time Claudius gets his act together and think up a clever way to do-away-with Hamlet. It gets real complicated at the end and everybody ends up dead.
