There he is! There she is! There they are!

I don't know how you can identify a character from the play without looking at the play. Are you asking how these people are related to each other? The king and queen are, unsurprisingly, married to each other. Laertes is Polonius's son and Polonius is the councillor to the king.

How many deaths in the play result directly or indirectly from Hamlet's plot for revenge?

If we take it that Hamlet killed Polonius believing him to be the king, and therefore as a part of his plot for revenge, then Polonius's death, and indirectly Ophelia's arise from his act of revenge. Claudius of course dies from Hamlet's revenge. Gertrude, Laertes and Hamlet die as a result of Laertes and Claudius's plot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern die just because Hamlet doesn't much like them.
