Tybalt: What art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee Benvolio. Look upon thy death Benvolio: I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword or manage it to part these men with me Tybalt: What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word as I hate hell, all Montagues and thee. Have at thee coward!
Tybalt says to Benvolio, "What, drawn and talk of peace! I hate the word as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee." This highlights Tybalt's aggressive nature and his deep-seated hatred for the Montagues.
Nothing whatsoever, either in Act 3 Scene 1 when he kills Tybalt, or in Act 5 Scene 3 when he is in the same tomb with his more decomposed remains. these are the only two scenes when Romeo is together with Tybalt's corpse. Romeo does talk to Paris's dead body in 5, 3 however: he says "O! Give me thy hand, one writ with me in sour misfortune's book. I'll bury thee in a triumphant grave."
Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee
Doth much excuse the appertaining rage
To such a greeting: villain am I none;
Therefore farewell; I see thou know'st me not.
Tybalt doesn't send a letter to Montague; he sends it to Romeo, who of course lives at his father's house. He is challenging Romeo to a fight.
It doesn't say anything about Romeo's cousin, but many people mistakenly think Benvolio is. Benvolio is just his friend. Benvolio is the Prince's cousin. Sorry, that's wrong. Benvolio is Romeo's cousin. In Act 1 Scene 1 Benvolio says to Romeo's father "My noble uncle, do you know the cause?" (somewhere around line 150) and later in the scene he greets Romeo "Good morrow, cousin." (about 15 lines later).
If the production of Romeo and Juliet is set in a medieval or renaissance period, then Benvolio certainly should have a knife. Everyone had a knife, since they were needed for eating (your host did not provide cutlery). Benvolio presumably also has a sword, or Tybalt would not say, "Art thou drawn among these heartless hinds?"
Tybalt is the son of the brother of Juliet's mother. That is to say, Tybalt's father and Juliet's mother were brother and sister. This means, of course, that Tybalt was not a Capulet, since it was Juliet's father and his brothers and sisters who were the Capulets.
The characters in scene one of Romeo and Juliet are: Sampson and Gregory-Serving-men of the Capulets Abram-Montague's serving-men Benvolio-Montagues nephew Tybalt-Capulets nephew Capulet- Juliet's father Capulets wife- Juliet's mother Montague- Romeo's father Montague's wife- Romeo's father Escalus- Prince of Verona
Juliet cares more about Romeo's banishment because it means she has lost her husband and her chance at a future with him. Tybalt's death was a tragedy, but Romeo's banishment directly affects Juliet's life and happiness. Juliet's love for Romeo overrides her grief for Tybalt.
Benvolio told the Prince and Lady Capulet about the fight between Mercutio and Tybalt, and how Mercutio was killed. Lady Capulet was convinced that Benvolio was lying, but as always, he was telling the complete truth.
Act 3 begins when Tybalt fights Mercutio, Benvolio and Romeo. Tybalt kills Mercutio and Romeo kills Tybalt in revenge so Prince Escalus banishes Romeo from Verona. Then, back at the Capulets, the Nurse brings Juliet news of Tybalts death and Romeos banishment and Juliet tells the Nurse to give Romeo a ring and tell him that she still loves him. The Nurse finds Romeo at Friar Lawrance's church where he is overcome with grief and she gives him the ring and Romeo is happy again. Then he goes to Juliet's room to say goodbye and have sex with her. After that, Capulet and Lady Capulet come in and tell Juliet that she is arranged to marry Paris on Thursday and tell her that if she refuses, they will no longer consider her their daughter. So she comes up with a plan to be with Romeo.
The nurse arranged the meeting between Romeo and Juliet after Tybalt's death to allow them to say goodbye before Romeo was banished from Verona. She also wanted to update Juliet on Romeo's condition and to try to comfort her in her grief.
Tybalt. Benvolio says, "Tybalt, the kinsman to old Capulet, hath sent a letter to his father's house" , Mercutio responds "A challenge, on my life", and Benvolio then says, "Romeo will answer it." The letter is a calculated insult, intended to challenge Romeo to fight with Tybalt. Benvolio's opinion is that Romeo will "answer" the challenge, which is to say, that he will accept it and fight Tybalt. When Tybalt and Romeo arrive on the scene later Tybalt again tries to challenge Romeo by saying "Thou art a villain" (This is a pretty feeble insult but then Tybalt is not known for having any kind of brain.) You can compare the scene in Twelfth Night where Sir Andrew has been goaded into issuing a challenge to Cesario by Sir Toby. The insulting letter, which he hopes Cesario will answer, is so lame that Sir Toby decides not to send it at all.

In all versions of Romeo and Juliet based on the Shakespeare play, Tybalt is Juliet's Mother's brother's son, which is to say that he is her cousin on her mother's side. Please take note, that he is not from the father's (Capulet's) side, so when he gets huffy about Romeo insulting the Capulets it is not even his own family he is talking about
Tybalt is important because he is the foundation of the story; without him there probably wouldn't be a story. If Tybalt hadn't have fought Mercutio and killed him, Romeo wouldn't have killed Tybalt in return, and therefore wouldn't have been banished. If Romeo wasn't banished, he would be able to stay with Romeo and Juliet and they would not have died in the end. So you see, it is like the domino effect.
