Tybalt calls him a "villain". Normally this would be enough for Romeo to start a fight with him. However, Romeo calmly replies that although Tybalt may not know the reason why Romeo is not going to take offence to that word, it is enough that he knows that the reason exists. He continues, "Villain am I none. I see you know me not."
He recognizes Romeo by his voice ("This, by his voice, should be a Montague") and calls for his sword so he can start a fight and liven up the party. ("My rapier, boy")
He says that Tybalt came after Romeo but Romeo "spoke him fair", so he then went after Mercutio, and killed him when Romeo was trying to restrain him. He says Tybalt then fled, "but by and by comes back to Romeo" whereupon Romeo killed him, Benvolio being unable to prevent it. This is mostly true, although he withholds the fact that Mercutio went out of his way to start a fight with Tybalt, who had no interest in fighting him. What Tybalt would have done to Romeo had Mercutio not been there is a director's call. The play is clear that in fact Tybalt did seek Romeo out after Mercutio's death, so Romeo was acting in self-defence in fighting him. Tybalt re-enters and Benvolio says "Here comes the furious Tybalt back again." In most movie versions, it is Romeo who chases after Tybalt, which would make this part of Benvolio's account of the fight inaccurate also.
Tybalt recognizes Romeo, a Montague, at his uncle, Lord Capulet's, party, and believes Romeo intends to insult the Capulet family.

Nothing, really. Romeo reacts to Tybalt's actions on his own volition. Because he doesn't want to see his cousin and his friend fighting he tries to break up the fight. Because Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo wanted revenge on Tybalt. But Tybalt didn't make Romeo seek revenge; Romeo could have walked away from it all, and watched Tybalt be executed for his crime while he gets to spend the rest of his life with Juliet.
No he did not. Mercutio answers Tybalt's challenge to Romeo. They begin having a sword fight. Then Tybalt attempts to stab Romeo but his sword goes under Romeo's arm and fatally wounds Mercutio. Another Answer: There is no direct indication of Tybalts intentions in the script. It simply reads, "Tybalt under Romeo's arm thrusts Mercutio in." So, whether Tybalt intended to stab Romeo or Mercutio is up for interpretation. Some directors stage Tybalt's thrust as an accident resulting from harmless swordplay.
