In Hamlet what does Polonius want to do before they send Hamlet away?
Polonius is interested in seeing whether spying on Hamlet's conversation with Gertrude will justify his theory that Hamlet is mad for love. (see the end of Act 3 Scene 1)
Why does Ophelia come to see her father after her encounter with Hamlet?
They are not. Gertrude does say that she hoped Ophelia and Hamlet would marry, but she didn't bother saying that while Ophelia was alive, so she was hardly eager. Polonius told Ophelia to give Hamlet the cold shoulder, since he thought Hamlet was only trying to get into her pants. He did not want Hamlet to fall for Ophelia at all (and he sure didn't think he would do so), but he comes to the conclusion later that Hamlet has in fact fallen in love with Ophelia. He's not exactly happy about that, but what he is happy about is that he can 1) be the first to tell the king, thus making him look smart, and 2) use Ophelia as bait to find out more about Hamlet.
What is Shakespeare suggesting about women through Hamlet's disposition towards his mother overall?
Hamlet's varying disposition toward his mother tells us a lot about Hamlet but not a lot about women. Yes, he says "Frailty, thy name is woman!" but that's just Hamlet being steamed off by his mother's remarriage. We shouldn't conclude as a result that Shakespeare thought that women were frail. On the contrary. If you want to get an idea of what Shakespeare thought about women, you are better advised to look at what they do, rather than what the men around them think of them. Othello may have been persuaded that Desdemona is immoral and incapable of monogamy, but we know that on the contrary she is incredibly faithful to him, even when he mistreats her. Ford may have been jealous of Mrs. Ford, but she and Mrs. Page are both levelheaded and morally true, although mischievous. If you look at Gertrude through Hamlet's eyes you may see a monster, but if you look at what she does, she is not a bad person. She genuinely cares for Claudius (as he does for her), and married him in good faith, not knowing what he did to get her. She also genuinely cares for Hamlet, and is interested in his well-being. She does not betray him to Claudius (although Claudius has figured out what is going on) and although it is not clear, she may also have agreed to Hamlet's suggestion to stop having sex with Claudius. (Some have said that this is why he says, "Oh, Gertrude, Gertrude, when sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions"--the first sorrow is that their love life has tapered off). A further example of her kind and loving nature is her treatment of Ophelia. At the same time she feels guilt (that spills itself in fearing to be spilt), although it is not clear why. That will tell you much more about what Shakespeare might think about women than everything that Hamlet says.
What does Ophelia want to accomplish?
Hamlet's love
Do you feel differently about Claudius after hearing him express remorse?
Yes. Up to that point you see Claudius exclusively through Hamlet's skewed vision. In his "O, my offence is rank" speech, Claudius is shown to be a rational person, not the monster Hamlet believes him to be. He has committed a crime and a sin, and he knows it, and he knows that to really repent it he must give up the reward of his crime. Part of that reward is being married to Gertrude and he does not want to give that up because he loves her very much, no matter what Hamlet thinks.

Did Hamlet's father want to kill Hamlet?
No, he wanted him to take revenge on Claudius for killing him when he didn't get a chance to confess his sins. Old Hamlet is angry at this because he is now in purgatory. He is also angry at the thought of Claudius sleeping with Gertrude and marrying her so soon after his death.
What bothers Claudius and Gertrude about hamlets dress?
Well, Hamlet's male, so the fact that he's wearing a dress at all might be some cause for concern.Actually, "dress" in this case just means "clothing", and what bugs them about it is that Hamlet's wearing black, the color of mourning. Which really is fair enough, because his father died, but his mother (Gertrude) has since remarried (to Claudius, Hamlet's father's brother); the two of them want people to focus on the new king (Claudius) and forget about the dead one (Hamlet's dad), and Hamlet is dressed all in black moping about, serving as a reminder.
