Who Hamlet loves?

Ophelia loves Hamlet and is devastated by his rejection of her--it is one reason she loses her mind. Gertrude also loves Hamlet; this becomes apparent in the Closet scene, and her behaviour afterwards. Hamlet unfortunately does not return either of their loves with the intensity with which they give it.

Would the king rather have Hamlet stay at Elsinore or return to Wittenberg?

Well, I must first of all say that my statement is of my own interpretation of the story. However, it may be possible that Claudius was planning on killing off Hamlet (or at least spy on him) from the very beginning. By looking at Claudius's personality, namely his willingness to kill for power, it can be implied that Claudius is fearful of loosing his power in the same way. Of all that may pose a threat to Claudius, Hamlet seems to be the most likely threat as he is in direct line to the throne (after all why not kill off the king and become the new king a little ahead of schedule?). So due to Claudius's paranoid nature, it may be possible that he intended to keep Hamlet in Elsinore so that he could plot to get rid of him.

Do Amish have to return a gift if you give them a gift?

No. If you give them something or do something for them as a friend, you are likely going to be embarrassed at all they do in return; they do not like being in your debt. On the other hand, if you try to win their favor in a commercial transaction, they are not easily twisted around your fingers as if they were fools.
