Malcolm goes to England and Donalbain goes to Ireland (and that's the last we hear of him). They are taking a powder, believing rightly that they will be suspected of murdering their father. Ross, who loves to find out and deliver news, is going to Scone to check out Macbeth's coronation. Macduff, who doesn't like Macbeth much and is anyway somewhat antisocial, goes home to Fife. There he will make a point of refusing invitations to Macbeth's dinner parties.
What else can I help you with?
Why does Ross not believe the two guards were responsible for Duncan's murder?
Ross doesn't say that he doesn't believe that the guards are guilty, although he doesn't understand it. Ross is a rather credulous fellow as compared to Macduff or Lennox (who is extremely cynical about the idea that the guards were guilty in Act III Scene 5). When Macduff tells him that the guards are known to have committed the murder in Act II Scene 4, Ross does not doubt it, but asks, "What good could they pretend?", which basically means "Why did they do it?" Macduff tells Ross it was Malcolm and Donalbain who bought them off, and Ross accepts that as well.
What news does Ross deliver to Malcolm and Macduff at the end of the act?
Ross told Macbeth that he was now the thane of Cawdor just after the 3 witches made that prediction
What decision does Macbeth make when he finds out about Macduff's flight?
Macduff assumed at first that Malcom and Donalbain hired the soldiers to kill their father and they fled to avoid any confrontations. However, it is evident that they fled because they suspected that they were the targets of a conspiracy.

Who is under suspicion for Duncan's murder?
Well, they didn't follow very good police procedure. On discovering the murder, Macduff called the others into Duncan's room. There they found Duncan stabbed to death, and a lot of blood about. His grooms, or bodyguards, had blood on their daggers and blood smeared on their faces. Macbeth, seeing this, and without any further investigation, killed them. When he was asked why he did that he answered that he was so angered by their apparent guilt that he could not hold himself back. Only later does the nagging question of motive come up. In Act II Scene 4 Ross and Macduff have the following conversation: Ross says, "Is it known who did this more than bloody deed?" and Macduff answers "Those who Macbeth hath slain." Ross then asks, "What good could they pretend?", meaning "what good could it do them?" Macduff answers, "They were suborned", which is to say, bribed. and anticipating Ross's next question, he says that since Malcolm and Donalbain have fled the scene, they are suspected of bribing the bodyguards. The logic of all this is highly suspect, but people in general are very poor at applying logic to questions of guilt and innocence. Only after the passage of time does this picture start to appear fishy to the people in Scotland, who realize that if Malcolm and Donalbain committed the murder, it did them no good whatsoever, but seems to have benefited Macbeth immensely. In particular, Lennox expresses this doubt about the all-too-quick resolution of the murder in Act III Scene 6, and hints that he now suspects Macbeth of the murder.
