"Do we know exactly what happened to Tom's parents in the time 
between when he went to Hogwarts and disappeared and when he went 
back and killed his father?  Do we know what happened to his mother 
and whether or not the parents(with others or together) had other 
children?"


Tom Riddle's Mother died in childbirth (Tom's birth) and lived only long enough to name him according to CoS and the orphanage where Tom was raised.  Tom's father had left his mother after they were married when she told him she was a witch.  In CoS Tom told Harry that his father didn't like magic.  In GoF (I think) it says that Tom Sr went back to live with his parents after the he left his wife.  What he did for the next 17 years, until Tom came to Little Hangleton and killed him and his grandparents, we do not know, except that they were rich.
