Answer 1

Shylock feels manipulated at the end of the trial and hopeless, as all his possessions have been taken away. I agree with him, although I don't believe he should take Antonio's life, he outcome of his trial wasn't fair.

Hence as per condition put by Shylock, Antonio signs a bond authorising Shylock to take one pound flesh from his body if he fails to repay the debt in three months. By chance Antonio's ships do not return and the time of bond has expired. Thus Shylock gets a chance to take revenge.
