The Sanhedrin was a legislative/judicial assembly. Asking what an assembly believes is a bit strange. Consider the similar questions "what does Congress believe," or "what does the Supreme Court believe." The most you can expect is on any particular question is that there were majority and minority opinions and occasional rare moments of unanimity.

Who was the person who tell to arrest Jesus?
Let me restate the question, to see if I read it correctly: "Who gave the order to have Jesus arrested?" If that is the question, it's hard to answer with a name of one individual. I don't believe any of the four gospels provide that information. However, it is stated that the arresting party was made up of the Temple Guards of the Sanhedrin, along with some other men with weapons, I believe. Every city in the Biblical land of Israel had an appointed Sanhedrin, made up of 23 judges, and I believe they were always Jewish priests. However, there was only one "Great Sanhedrin" which met six days a week in the Hall of Hewn Stones in the great Temple of Jerusalem. It was made up of 71 judges: a leader (call him the "chief justice"), a "vice-chief justice", and 69 other judges. Since the Temple Guards would not have acted without direction of the Sanhedrin, it must have been the Great Sanhedrin that gave the arrest order. While it might be possible to find out the name of the chief justice at the time of Jesus' arrest, he would not have made the decision himself, so it is likely more accurate to say the the entire Great Sanhedrin voted to have Jesus arrested.
