Hamlet calls Rosencrantz a "sponge" because he always does as Cladius pleases. He obeys him no matter what. He has no thoughts of his own--he just sucks up the thoughts and plans of the king and they come out when he is squeezed. Hamlet says that like a sponge once Claudius is done with him, he will get rid of him.

Hamlet didn't write any letters to Laertes--ah, you mean "Did Claudius read the letter Hamlet wrote to Claudius out loud to Laertes?"

How can you rewrite the part of Rosencrantz in the play Hamlet in your own words?
It's called paraphrasing. Take a line that Rosencrantz says, then ask yourself, "What is he getting at? What does he mean?". You then take your answer and put those words into Rosencrantz's mouth.

What does this mean there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so?
What Hamlet means (he is talking to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern when he says this) is that moral judgments are relative. If you think something is good, it is. If you think it is bad, it is. He has just finished saying that "Denmark's a prison.", and Rosencrantz says "We think not so, my lord." Hamlet does not want to engage in a stupid argument about it, so he says "There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so. To me it is a prison." In other words, "That's what I think, and I don't want to argue about it." Of course Shakespeare has him express this much more elegantly.
