Basically, he says that Tybalt is mistaken and that Romeo will now go his own way. Tybalt is insulting him to get Romeo mad so he will start a fight, but Romeo backs down because he doesn't want trouble with Juliet's cousin.

Lady Capulet wants Romeo dead because he killed Tybalt. She also thinks that Tybalt's death is causing Juliet all this grief so she wants him to be banished but in reality its Romeo's banishment that makes Juliet depressed.

On the surface because Tybalt is a Capulet, and Romeo is a Montague. All Capulets are supposed to hate the Montagues because of an ancient feud between the two families.

In this specific case, Tybalt is mad at Romeo because Romeo crashed the Capulet party and wants to start a fight with him. He therefore calls him a villain, which is an insult, hoping to provoke Romeo.

The irony is that Tybalt is not really a Capulet at all. He is related to Juliet's mother, not her father. The real Capulet, Juliet's father, didn't mind that Romeo crashed the party, and said he seemed like a really nice young man, and so clearly he at least doesn't hate all the Capulets.

Romeo says he loves Tybalt, and has good reason to do so, and that he never injured him. Tybalt is challenging Romeo to a fight, and Romeo is refusing to fight. Mercutio calls this "vile submission" but that is because Mercutio is quarrelsome and is looking for a fight. In fact, Romeo is not submissive; he denies that he is a villain or that he has injured Tybalt, but does it in a way which cannot be interpreted as an acceptance of the challenge.
