Was the treaty of New Echota the first treaty that removed the Cherokee Indians?
No, there were many "cessations" of Cherokee lands, in many cases, Cherokee people were driven out by force. Forcing them to the west i.e. from Georgia to Alabama. For instance: The Treaty of Hopewell in South Carolina in 1786 in which the Cherokee gave white settlers some of their lands, and thought that this would appease their land lust, but after only three years, settlers would again encroach on Cherokee lands; in the Treaty of Holston in 1791 Cherokee cede land in eastern Tennessee in exchange for President Washington's guarantee that the Cherokee Nation will never again be invaded by settlers. This treaty forces Americans to obtain passports to enter Cherokee lands, and granted Cherokee the right to evict settlers. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson agrees with the state of Georgia to removal of all American Indians in exchange for the state's claim of western lands. 1813-1814 Cherokee warriors fight alongside future president Andrew Jackson during two campaigns (5 major battles) against the Red Sticks, saving both his army and his life in separate battles, but then in 1814 Jackson demands cessions of 2.2 million acres from the Cherokee. Then in 1817 there was the cession of land east of the Unicoi Turnpike. (Treaty of Turkey Town, instead of the 2.2 million acres demanded by Jackson.) In 1819 was the final cession of land in Georgia, and part of a much larger cession, the Cherokee gave up claims to all land east of the Chattahoochee River. 1828, gold was discovered in Georgia. This discovery was on Cherokee land ceded to the U. S. in 1817 (Duke's Creek), however, gold was soon found inside the Cherokee Nation. In 1832 the Supreme Court of the United States declared the Cherokee Nation to be sovereign (Worcester v. Georgia). This has constitutional implications, disallowing the state of Georgia from passing any law governing the Cherokee. However, the Georgia Guard destroyed the Cherokee newspaper's (The Cherokee Phoenix) printing press, and soon thereafter began harassing and illegally detaining Cherokee citizens, in clear opposition to the law, with the not so silent consent of Andrew Jackson. Then, in 1835 the Treaty of New Echota was signed, and 1838 was the deadline for voluntary removal to Oklahoma. Thus beginning the Trail of Tears.

Why did the state of Georgia want to relocate the Cherokee and what did the Cherokee do in response?
Why did Georgia want to relocate the Cherokee: The simplest of answers is "Greed" the lands owned by the Cherokee were large and they had found gold (as well as other resources on them) and wanted that land. What did the Cherokee do: Believing in the American Justice system the Cherokee filed suit against Georgia to prevent the removal and to strike down a Treaty that was not authorized or signed by the leaders of the Cherokee Nation. When this failed they moved to Oklahoma where they then executed (by public assassination) all persons who signed the treaty (one escaped). This was done under the Cherokee "Law of the Snake" that was amended at this point to not allow the execution of their families - in Anglo-Saxon law the term would be "Treason." It took almost 100 years before the Cherokee would deal with the US Government (sign any paper with them). It should also be noted that several small groups of Cherokee formed "war parties" and raided areas around Oklahoma.

How did the Cherokee respond to the Indian removal act?
Because of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the Cherokee had to be relocated. Initially, the Cherokee people did not think this really pertain to them. Unfortunately, they were forced to move, anyways. They were not prepared for so many people and hundreds of Cherokee died from starvation, exposure, and illnesses.
