At least partly. Macbeth would never have committed the murder if she hadn't pushed him into doing it. But she would never have done it if there hadn't been someone she could push. They were both necessary.

No. Lady Macbeth had only smeared their faces and clothes with Duncan's blood in order to incriminate them. She did not kill them, and it was not part of her plan that they should be killed. She imagined them denying that they committed the murder and then being disbelieved by everyone. Macbeth, on the other hand, knew that if they had a chance to deny it, some people would believe them. Lennox comments on this in 3, 6 where he says, "Was not that nobly done? Ay, and wisely too, for it would have anger'd any heart alive to hear the men deny't." The fact that Lady M had not expected this carnage is proved by her keeling over in a dead faint as a result, where the news of Duncan's death only brought forward the lame "What? In our house?"

No she just convinces Macbeth to kill Duncan. And then Macbeth decides on his own to kill the bodyguards so they will not deny killing him.
