It could often be a shy type don't sneak up on it and if its new to a home don't crowd around it or it will be nervous don't shake the cage either!
To be squirrely means to be nervous, jumpy, or behaving in a skittish or unpredictable manner. It can also refer to being evasive or secretive in one's actions or intentions.
If your hamster is jumpy and looking nervous then you should gently stroke it inside of it's cage and then feed it pieces of food out your hand then that way your hamster will come fond of your smell and will be used to you and when you handle it it wont be nervous no more.
Nothing. Hamsters always clean and itch themselves. They just have a tendency to do that, my hamster does that. Hope I helped =)
Your hamster may have an injury or an underlying health issue causing the symptoms. It is important to take your hamster to a veterinarian as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Do not attempt to treat the hamster at home without professional guidance.
Apart from the fact that you're not supposed to disturb your hamster when it's sleeping or eating, normally a hamster would bite if you did that. It might be that your hamster is simply not aggressive at all, or on the other hand it could be that it's too weak to defend itself because it's ill. It would be best to take the hamster to the vet's just in case to see there's nothing wrong with it.
