Why the doctor was with the gentlewoman?
The doctor was assigned to observe Lady Macbeth's unusal behavior, by Macbeth. In Act 5 Scene 3 the doctor makes his report to Macbeth. Macbeth asks, "Canst thou not minister to a mind diseas'd?" and when the doctor says no, Macbeth says "Throw physic to the dogs! I'll have none of it!" The inference we can draw is that Macbeth really does care about his wife and wants her to get better. People often misunderstand Macbeth's reaction to his wife's death as meaning that he does not care for her, but this scene, occurring shortly before, proves that he does.
Why would the gentlewoman not tell the doctor what she knew about Lady Macbeth?
While sleepwalking, Lady MacBeth confessed to being part of the conspiracy to kill King Duncan and having knowledge of the murder of Lady McDuff and her family. The gentle woman would not tell the doctor what she knew because she had "no witness to confirm my speech." She couldn't make the accusations against the Queen without anyone one else having seen it, ba\ecause it is likely that she, too would be killed.

What was the gentlewomans attitude towards the doctor in Lady Macbeth in act V?
The gentlewoman expresses concern about the doctor sharing confidential information with others, showing a lack of trust in his discretion. She also displays a sense of duty and responsibility by reporting Lady Macbeth's troubled behavior to him, indicating a desire to help her.
What does the doctor see in the sleepwalking scene and what does he speculate about the causes of what he sees In Macbeth?
It is not so much what he sees, since that only shows that she is sleepwalking and is emotionally and mentally disturbed. It is what he hears which tells him what is going on. As the gentlewoman says, "she has spoke what she should not." It is from her references to the various murders ("But who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him?", "The Thane of Fife had a wife; where is she now?", "Banquo's dead; 'a cannot come out on's grave.") that the doctor realizes what the cause of her emotional disturbance and nightmares is. And this is very dangerous knowledge, for knowing that Macbeth is guilty of these crimes would be a death sentence if Macbeth were ever to find out that the Doctor and the gentlewoman knew it.
