Which term defines the famous speech by Hamlet in Shakespeare and play of the same name?

The word you are looking for is probably "soliloquy", although this word does not define all of the Famous Speeches Hamlet gives. It does define "O that this too too solid flesh would melt", "O what a rogue and peasant slave am I", "To be or not to be, that is the question", "Now is the very witching hour of night", and "How all occasions inform against me". But it does not describe what is probably Hamlet's second-most famous speech, "Alas! Poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio" which is of course part of a conversation with Horatio, or the very famous "What a piece of work is man" speech he gives to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.Probably you are thinking of the word "soliloquy" which means a speech by a character which is not intended to be heard by any other characters on stage. A soliloquy might be thought of as an extended aside.

Who writes the play to be or not to be?

You are referring to William Shakespeare, but it's not a play-- it's a speech from "Hamlet"-- a special kind of speech called a soliloquy (when a character steps out in front of the stage and gives a speech all by himself or herself, usually about some issue that is very important in the play).

List any one bit of advice Polonius gives to Hamlet?

Polonius never gives advice to Hamlet. He interacts with him four times: when he accosts Hamlet in the hall when he is reading (what do you read, my lord? words, words, words), when he comes to tell Hamlet that the players have come (Buz, buz) and during and after the First Player's speech about Hecuba, during the Mousetrap (I did enact Julius Caesar), and to tell Hamlet to see his mother (very like a whale). During these conversations Hamlet constantly has Polonius on his off foot, and Polonius would never have a chance to offer advice. He does, of course offer a lot of advice to his son Laertes, but nobody would confuse Laertes with Hamlet.
