Tituba was a slave that confessed to seeing the devil who appeared to her sometimes like a hog and sometimes like a great dog
Abigail confessed to dancing with the devil because she knew she were in alot of trouble so she lied and blamed the whole situation on Tituba and start saying names of the people she supposedly saw with the devil.
Tituba confesses to witchcraft since Abigail and the others were claiming she had committed the crime. Tituba was wanting to escape the extreme punishment of whippings and being hanged and so she took the easy road out and just confessed to a crime she had not commited. The punishment was lesser and she was allowed to just go to church to get the devil out of her instead of getting killed for "witchcraft".
They did it to avoid the death penalty.
Tituba is allowed to live if she names the people she has seen with the Devil and if she becomes a saved Christian.

(Whom she wanted dead because of her love affair with John Proctor)

No. She confessed and was therefore kept in jail, but allowed to live if she offered testimony against the other accused.
