she is convinced that she sees the blood of duncan's and banquo's fammilies on her hands
Yes, Lady Macbeth was guilty in the murders of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and of his two royal guards. She was guilty as an accomplice and an accessory. She helped in the planning and in the setting of the scene. She encouraged her husband to carry out the killings, and pushed him on when he faltered. She gave the guards too much of drugged drinks so that they couldn't protect their sovereign. She took the daggers back to the guards' room, and put them on their bodies. She didn't contradict her husband's lie the following morning. Macbeth admitted to the murders of the guards, as retribution for their having killed the King. Lady Macbeth chose to help plan, carry out, and cover up the crimes.
no, she doesn't kill anyone she persuades Macbeth to do all the killing, the only thing she does related to killing is carry the daggers that were used to kill duncan back into the room and wipe the blood on the guards
In a sense, yes. Soon after his crowning, and even beforehand by characters such as Macduff, it became clear to everyone in Scotland that it was Macbeth who had done the killing. Despite this, no-one wanted to be the one to say it, in fear of being killed themselves.
First were Macbeth's delusions after DUncan and Banquo's murder. Before he murders Duncan he hallucinates seeing a dagger, already feeling guilty about having decided to commit the murder. After Banquo's murder, he hallucinates seeing his ghost sitting in Macbeth's chair at a royal banquet which caused quite a scene. Lady Macbeth's guilt is apparent through her descent into madness. At the end of the play her lady in waiting calls a doctor to see if she can be cured. She says that Lady Macbeth has been sleepwalking about the hallways at night and muttering things about murders. The doctor actually clearly sees lady Macbeth doing this. ALso, after Duncan's murder, Macbeth comments that he feels he cannot wash the blood from his hands, obviously symbolizing his guilt.
LADY MACBETH. Yet here's a spot.
DOCTOR. Hark, she speaks: I will set down what comes from her, to satisfy my remembrance the more strongly.
LADY MACBETH. Out, damned spot! out, I say! One; two; why, then 'tis time to do't. Hell is murky! Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?
DOCTOR. Do you mark that?
LADY MACBETH. The Thane of Fife had a wife; where is she now? What, will these hands ne'er be clean? No more o' that, my lord, no more o' that: you mar all with this starting.

Blood is used as a symbol representing guilt. It is seen on the hands of Lady Macbeth in 5.1, on Banquo's ghost and the face of his murderer (Macbeth sees it, though the murderer does not notice - Macbeth feels guilt, he does not) in 3.4, and the dagger that Macbeth sees in 2.1, when Macbeth wrestles with the guilt for the deed he is about to do
In Act 1, Lady Macbeth is the planner, the one who is dragging her reluctant husband into committing one murder.
