You are probably thinking of 'a (the apostrophe comes before the a) which was a slangy way of saying "he". The character who uses it the most is Mistress Quickly in Henry IV and Henry V. Also "And then my husband--God be with his soul, 'a was a merry man." - Nurse, Romeo&Juliet.
It's an archaic abbreviation of sorts. Pronounce it "uh".
When used in someone's name, such as Thomas a' Beckett, it stands for "of" or "from" or it can also show that the person is descended from a particular family. So it really denotes that the person "belongs" to a place or family.
When the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet says "God be with his soul. 'A was a merry man", it means, as is clear from the context, "he".
Sorry, Shakespeare did not use that word.
Shakespeare does not use the word townsfolk.

Oft is not a shortened word. Often is a lengthened word. The original word is oft and the form often did not appear until about a century before Shakespeare's day. They are, of course, the same word and mean the same thing.
William Shakespeare sometimes uses the word gi in his plays. This word has the same meaning as the word give.

Shakespeare wrote in English. "The" means exactly the same when he used it as it does when you use it.

It's short for "or the other", as in "one or the other".
Shakespeare wrote in English, the same language I am using now. There is no such language as "Shakespearean language" or "Shakespeare language". It's English. A word like "then" is a building block of the English language and always means "then" when Shakespeare or any other English speaker uses it.
