Why does Macbeth fear banguo and feel threatened by his ''being''?
There isn't necessarily a logical reason for the fear, but then fear is not a logical thing. Although Macbeth says, "My fears in Banquo stick deep," he is not totally clear about why he is afraid of him. Most likely, he is afraid that Banquo knows too much about him, knows what the witches said to him and how troubled he was by it, and as a result may suspect Macbeth of murdering Duncan. He is also annoyed by the prophecy of the "fruitless crown" and the prophecy that Banquo will be the father to kings. To prevent this, Macbeth would have to kill not only Fleance but also Banquo, to prevent Banquo from fathering more children. This prophecy does not threaten Macbeth, yet he feels threatened by it.

Who did Macbeth hire assassins for?
Professional hitmen. Although with the murderers he hires to kill Banquo, he goes through the rigmarole of rehearsing their grievances against Banquo, arguably this is a sham to make Macbeth feel less like the kind of scum that hires professional hitmen to kill his friend. By the time he hires murderers to kill Macduff's family, there is no more pretence.
