How many murderers does Macbeth send to kill banquo?

The play doesn't say so, but it is a plausible interpretation. Macbeth wants to be safe; it wouldn't be safe having these cutthroats who know he was involved in Banquo's death hanging around.

What is Macbeth saying about the murderer's deeds?

To ensure the murderers will 'dispatch' (kill) Banquo, Macbeth tells them, 'Banquo was your enemy, So he is mine'. Basically, you do not like Banquo and therefore, neither do I. So I encourage you to kill him. It was very manipulative of Macbeth to say this to the murderers. He also threatens their manhood, compares them to dogs and applies various other tactics so he can feel certain they will kill Banquo and Banquo's son, Fleance.

Who is the third murderer in Macbeth?

The true reason is unknown and only inferences can be made. It is possible that MacBeth feared that the other two murderers would not do as he told them and MacBeth sent a third murderer to keep and eye on them. He may have also thought that two murderers alone would be unable to carry out the killing of Banquo and after realizing the fact he decided to send a third. If this was the case then MacBeth was partially right because although the murderers were able to kill Banquo his son, Fleance, escaped. Also, there's a theory that Macbeth himself was the third murderer
