Who speaks from below the stage in hamlet?
The ghost, in Act 1 Scene 5.
How does polonius lie to the king in scene 2?
What Scene 2 are we talking about here? It must be Act 1 or Act 2, because Polonius does not speak to the king in Act 3 Scene 2, although he does speak to Hamlet, and lies to him ("Very like a whale").So is it Act 1 Scene 2, where Polonius says "He hath, my lord, wrung from me my slow leave by laboursome petition."? I suppose that might have been a lie, since he does not seem to need much persuading to let Laertes live a wild life in Paris.Are we talking about the bit in Act II Scene 2 where Polonius hands over Hamlet's love-letter, saying that Ophelia handed it over "in her duty and obedience"? It has been suggested in some productions that basically he stole it, or forced her to hand it over. Or are we talking about "Your noble son is mad." Not true, maybe, but does Polonius know that?

How would you describe the effect of polonius's rambling speech to reynaldo in Act II Scene 1?
It has the effect of putting people to sleep. Even Polonius cannot keep track of what he is saying. Reynaldo, surprisingly, is keeping up with him and is able to put him back on track.

This idea is introduced in Act One. Queen Gertrude asks Hamlet why he is still so heavily mourning the death of his father, claiming that he seems to be grieving more than is necessary.

What does Polonius suggest after Hamlet and Ophelia see one another in act two scene two?
In Act 3 scene 1 of Hamlet (the "nunnery" scene), Claudius and Polonius eavesdrop on the conversation between Hamlet and Ophelia. Well, it's sort of eavesdropping since Ophelia knows they are there and if Hamlet does not know at the beginning of the conversation, he figures it out pretty quickly.
Does Polonius send Reynaldo to Paris to encourage Laertes to return home?
No, he sends Reynaldo to Paris to spy on Laertes.

What are the three instances of spying that occur in act 2 or 3 of Hamlet?
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern spy on Hamlet, Claudius and Polonius spy on Hamlet while he is talking to Ophelia, and Polonius spies on Hamlet when he is talking to Gertrude. On the other hand, Hamlet and Horatio spy on Claudius during the play-within-a-play. And in a completely unrelated bit of spying Polonius gets Reynaldo to spy on Laertes.
In Hamlet what does Polonius want to do before they send Hamlet away?
Polonius is interested in seeing whether spying on Hamlet's conversation with Gertrude will justify his theory that Hamlet is mad for love. (see the end of Act 3 Scene 1)
