Benvolio discovered that Romeo had been missing and had not returned home after the Capulet party, indicating that he was likely with Juliet. He also learned that there was concern about Tybalt seeking revenge on Romeo for attending the Capulet party.

Tybalt. He sent a letter to Montague's house challenging Romeo to a duel.
AnswerLord Capulet sends an illiterate servant to go invite the people on the guest list. The servant asks Benvolio and Romeo to read the list for him (the servant doesn't realize that they are Montagues) and then tells them that they are welcome to come as long as they are not of the house of Montague. Even though they are of the house of Montague, they go anyway.And Mercutio (along with his brother, Valentine) was on the guest list.
In Act I, Scene I of Romeo And Juliet, following the exit of the Prince and others, Benvolio first recounts to the Montagues the beginning of the fight that just occurred. He says that when he got to the fight, he saw the servants of the Capulet and Montague houses fighting and when he tried to stop the fight, Tybalt (a capulet) began to fight with him. He then explains how the fighting escalated until Prince Escalus arrived and ended the fight. Next, Lady M. asks Benvolio about her son, Romeo. Benvolio explains that Romeo is pretty bummed out but he isn't sure why, and he's seen Romeo wandering around and avoiding people. Lord Montague then recounts how he's seen Romeo sighing and crying, shutting himself away in the dark inside his house. Nobody seems to be able to figure out why Romeo is so unhappy and they all stand around wondering what they could do to help when Romeo enters.
Mercutio is in the House of Escalus, however he is very good friends with Benvolio and Romeo who are both in the house of Capulet.
It will start a war.
The Montagues plan to enter the Capulets' house by disguising themselves and blending in with the guests attending the Capulet's masquerade ball. This allows them to avoid detection and gain access to the enemy territory without being recognized.
It was never stated, though he's a kinsman to Prince Escalus. Neither was Paris's last name, for the record. Benvolio's last name was never specified, though he was from the house of Montagues. He's a cousin of Romeo's, so it's possible they had different last names.
Tybalt sends a letter to the Montague household. We learn that from Benvolio when he says to Mercutio "Tybalt, the kinsman of old Capulet, hath sent a letter to his father's house"(II, iv, 6-7) Who Benvolio means by "his father's house" is Romeo's father's house who is Montague and why Tybalt sends the letter to Montague because is to challenge Romeo in a fight.
A Capulet servant could not read the guest list to the party that his master gave him. So coming upon Romeo and Benvolio, he asks Romeo if he could read. Romeo read the list for the servant and sees Rosalins's name. He asks the servant where they will be and the servant says that '...if you be not of the house of/ Montague, I pray come and crush a cup of wine...' and so they would have been invited to the party if they weren't Montagues. Which of course they were.
Tybalt sends a letter round to the Montagues' house to challenge Romeo.
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.
