Oh, he loves it. It is composed in an extremely stuffy old-fashioned style about a story from Virgil. Polonius is bored by it (He says, "This is too long.") and he is not alone, since according to Hamlet the play was a flop because it was "caviare to the general". But let's face it, Hamlet is an artistic snob, as well as a dillettante who has the gall to instruct the players on how to act. He sneers at Polonius and the general people who didn't like the play. Hamlet, on the other hand, finds it very moving.

How does Hamlet's running around the throne room make Hamlet seem more or less insane?

Whether Hamlet runs around the throne room is a matter for the director to decide. There are no stage directions or lines which require him to do so. It can be a good call. When Keanu Reeves played Hamlet (yes, I was there), you only noticed him when he was running around like a maniac; at all other times everything and everybody else on stage became much more interesting than Hamlet. In that particular case, running around did make him seem more insane.
