Gertrude is responding to Hamlet's response about her last remark. She is trying to talk him out of mourning the death of his father, her late husband. She has said that everybody's father dies; "it is common"; it happens all the time. The dead fathers go to heaven, passing from nature to eternity. Hamlet replies, "Ay, madam, it is common" which looks like he agrees although most likely he really means that her actions are "common" in the sense that they would suit a dairymaid better than a queen. (Hamlet is, as you have probably noticed, a bit of a snob).
Gertrude however takes him at his word, and thinks she is getting through, so she asks the question, "If it be [common], why is it so particular with thee?" The word "particular" means "special to one person" as in "He has his own particular way of shuffling cards". What she is saying is, "Why if everyone else has this problem, are you acting like you are the only one who had a father die?"

What does friar john mean by Nor get a messenger to bring it thee So fearful were they of infection?
The whole quotation is "I could not send it (here it is again) nor get a messenger to bring it thee, so fearful were they of infection." The scoop is that Friar John is suspected of having the plague and so has been put in quarantine. So strict is this quarantine (because they are so fearful of spreading the infection) that the letter itself could not have been taken out of the room to give to someone else to take it back to Friar Lawrence. That's why he couldn't "get a messenger to bring it" to him.
