At the inquest held by the Prince into the death of Tybalt, he asks Benvolio to report what happened. Benvolio's report, although he hides the fact that Mercutio started the quarrel with Tybalt, is essentially accurate. Lady Capulet then says:

"He is a kinsman to the Montague;

Affection makes him false, he speaks not true.

Some twenty of them fought in this black strife,

And all those twenty could but kill one life.

I beg for justice, which thou, Prince, must give

Romeo slew Tybalt; Romeo must not live!"

Her story is that 20 Montagues jumped Tybalt in order to murder him. She was not there to see it; she's just making it up to make Tybalt look good. After all (at least according to Mercutio), Tybalt was proud of his swordplay, and it was embarrassing that he should be defeated by a simp like Romeo.

The irony of her accusation that Benvolio is not speaking the truth because he is a Montague is not lost on the Prince. He immediately sees that affection has made her false and dismisses her account of Tybalt's death.

Good question. Romeo isn't doing anything offensive at the party, as Capulet tells Tybalt. He is not fleering and jesting at the Capulets. And it is not as if Tybalt is a Capulet--his only connection with the family is that his auntie married Mr. Capulet. Do you think you are a member of your father's sister's husband's family? Probably not. But Tybalt does. The reason is probably that he likes to fight. He has studied Fencing, and he uses the feud as an excuse to start fights so he can show off how good he is. He is not upset at all about Romeo being at the party--he is actually happy that he can pretend to be angry and start a ruckus.
