What idea does Hamlet get from having the players in the court?
It is, perhaps less of a theory of acting as a set of observations on the practice of the art. However at its root is the notion that the purpose of playing is "to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature." Actors who do not seem natural in their acting are not doing it right, and the most grievous fault that Hamlet finds in actors is overdoing it, ("overdone" is a word he uses three times in the speech) bellowing and strutting, sawing the air with their hands and generally out-Heroding Herod. He also warns about the opposite fault, being too tame, but he is less concerned with that problem.

What does Shakespeare mean by the word t'were?
The expression should be spelled 'twere. The apostrophe stands for the letter "i" in the word "it", so the expression is "it were". "Were" is the present subjunctive of the verb to be, so 'twere is the subjunctive form of 'tis (it is) which is found everywhere in Shakespeare. An example of the unabbreviated form is Hamlet's line "I could accuse me of such things that it were better that my mother had not borne me."

Macbeth, as we see from his "If 'twere done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly" speech, lacks the theoretical desire although he has the guts. It is the combination which was deadly for Duncan.
