There are more people than one alive at the end of the play. Fortinbras is still alive, since he delivers the last line. Horatio is usually also still alive (except in one production where Fortinbras had him shot). The English Ambassador (and other ambassadors if any) is still alive. Osric is usually still alive (but not in the Kenneth Branagh film). And of course there are all kinds of characters who are alive offstage--we usually count Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's offstage death, so why not them?

No. Most of the characters in the play have speaking parts, although there are Lords, guardsmen and others mentioned in the stage directions who do not speak. However, as part of the play-within-a-play, Shakespeare wrote a prologue to the play called a "dumb-show" which is in fact a "silent play"--the actors do not speak. So in that sense a part of Hamlet is indeed a silent play.
