Hamlet

They actually try to find out what is wrong with Hamlet in an earlier scene, Act II Scene 2. In Act III Scene I they make their report to Claudius of what they have found, or rather what they have not found. They do not tell Claudius the real reason they have not found it out, because the real reason is that they were so inept in their investigations that Hamlet almost immediately said "The king put you up to this, didn't he?" and after that they realized that they couldn't trust anything he said.

He's referring to the metaphorical blood which represents his guilt for murdering his brother.

"If your mind dislike anything, obey it. I will forestall their repair hither and say you are not fit."

Never. He said he'd do it if it was the last thing he did, and as it happened it was the last thing he did. He did give up on trying to force an opportunity, deciding instead to wait for an opportunity to present itself.

Hamlets are small villages or groups of houses.

If we believe Gertrude, she climbed out onto a willow tree (never a good idea) and a branch broke and sent her tumbling into the water below. She didn't seem to realize this was dangerous, but her impractical clothing caused her to drown. Many people, inside the play and out, suspect that she actually drowned herself intentionally.

*soliloquy

And he's deciding whether or not it is noble to end his own life "whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer" etc.

By "to be" or not, he essentially means "to live, or not to live".

We have no record of the exact time when Shakespeare finished writing Hamlet, but it must have been around 1600.

Polonius has just asked Hamlet what he is reading. Of course what he wants Hamlet to say is the name of the book. But just to be irritating Hamlet responds "Words, words, words."

I'm not sure it matters. I think that's one of his main points. He's not "Hamlet," the main character who's decision changes the course of the whole play.

she started singing bits and pieces of songs.

He has unfinished business. He was killed in such a way that he cannot rest (he is in purgatory), and he seeks revenge for his murder by inducing his son to kill his murderer. This conceit forms a part of the popular play form called the "revenge tragedy" of which Hamlet is an example. There is always some ghostly or spiritual entity egging someone on to revenge.

No, he sends Reynaldo to Paris to spy on Laertes.

Hamlet's plan is to stage a play which will re-enact the murder of his father and then to discover whether Claudius is guilty of the murder or not based on his reaction to the play.
