A little more than kin and less than kind?
Hamlet's first line in Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is said in response to Claudius's line "And now my cousin Hamlet, and our son . . ." Hamlet is both nephew and stepson to Claudius, which is more kinship than is usual. "Less than kind" might mean that Claudius is not a kind person, with the sound pun on the words "kin" and "kind" The line might also mean that Hamlet is kin to Claudius (indeed, more than kin), but he is not of Claudius's kind--they are unlike.

How does Hamlet's running around the throne room make Hamlet seem more or less insane?
Whether Hamlet runs around the throne room is a matter for the director to decide. There are no stage directions or lines which require him to do so. It can be a good call. When Keanu Reeves played Hamlet (yes, I was there), you only noticed him when he was running around like a maniac; at all other times everything and everybody else on stage became much more interesting than Hamlet. In that particular case, running around did make him seem more insane.

In Hamlet, Hamlet's father is killed by Hamlet's uncle. Hamlet's father's ghost (the ghost) comes back to basically tell Hamlet what happened, and to tell him (more or less) to have revenge on Hamlet's uncle.

It was a custom in Denmark to mark a toast by firing off cannons and blowing horns. Hamlet and Horatio hear this when they are standing around on the battlements of Elsinore waiting for the Ghost to show up. Hamlet sneers that it is a custom more honoured in the breach than the observance, but then he sneers at everything Claudius does no matter what it is.
