We don't know for certain. There is a debate regarding all of Shakespeare's works, with one side claiming that Shakespeare wrote everything himself and the other side claiming that he was only a tool for someone else. Nothing has been settled, nor will it ever be, since this debate is not based on evidence. However, most of the scholars who have studied the evidence do not agree with either of those propositions. They said that although Shakespeare apparently wrote at least part of everything ascribed to him, he most probably wrote some plays with the assistance of another playwright. Antony and Cleopatra is not one of those plays.
So, yes, William Shakespeare almost certainly wrote Antony and Cleopatra by himself, relying heavily on his source, Plutarch's lives.

Why did mark Anthony receive a report that Cleopatra was dead?
There is no factual answer as to why Marc Antony received a report that Cleopatra was dead. However there is plenty of speculation. One theory is that in the confusion during that last day, Cleopatra may not have had time to write and simply told a slave to tell Antony that she was in her tomb. When Antony heard this, he assumed that she was dead. Another theory is that Cleopatra deliberately lied to him, in an effort to get him to either kill himself or to flee Alexandria, thereby leaving her to negotiate with Octavian on her own, which is something she wanted.
