First, her father slain:
Next, your son gone; and he most violent author
Of his own just remove:
could this possibly be a double meaning?
Since Claudius is looking for a way to get rid of Hamlet he says this to incorporate Hamlet's journey to England, or he could have said this to "foreshadow" a death/murder that may/will happen later.
Even though he is right in front of Gertrude he talks like Hamlet will never come home, even though he is only going to "settle things" in England. That was Claudius's reason for sending him.
This may be obvious but i want to make sure i have this right... Ophelia sings all the time because she is/has gone crazy because of her father's death... is that right? I also think that Laertes has fallin in love with Ophelia and she doesn't even realize it. Either that or she has gotten to the point where she doesn't even care about what goes on around her because of her madness.

Laertes does not like Ophelia he simply is outraged by the fact that she has gone crazy and the fact that his father is dead. Ophelia has gone crazy which is quite obvious since she is walking around and giving everyone flowers for no particular reason. I'm not quite sure what the first few lines that you wrote down mean.
