Well, he is already Thane of Glamis and finds out from Ross shortly after talking to the witches that he is already Thane of Cawdor as well. He does become king hereafter. Birnam wood comes to Dunsinane in the sense that the English army uses boughs from Birnam as camouflage when they travel to Dunsinane. Macbeth cannot be defeated except by a man who is not born of woman, which means someone who was delivered by Caesarian Section. Macduff, who defeats him, is such a man, and that is why Macbeth ought to beware Macduff.

What is the shift between Macbeth and lady Macbeth?

I am guessing that the interchange is that one in 2,2 as follows: Lady M: Did you not speak? Macbeth: When? Lady M: Now. Macbeth: As I descended? Lady M: Ay. Macbeth Hark! Who lies in the second chamber? Lady M: Donalbain. Macbeth: This is a sorry sight. The conversation is usually performed very rapidly with the words almost tumbling over each other. The characters are trying to answer each other but Macbeth is distracted by his own thoughts. Lady M has heard a voice, and wants to find out about it, but she never gets an answer. Macbeth asks who is sleeping in Room 210, but when he gets his answer he does not explain why he asked it but goes on to talk about his bloody hands. They are nervous, their thoughts (and we assume their hearts) are racing to the extent that they are incoherent. Their nervous tension gets communicated to the audience.

What happened to Lady Macbeth in Act 5?

The witches promised Macbeth that Dunsinane Castle would never fall until the Forest of Birnam attacked it. Malcolm's army uses brushwood from Birnam Forest as camouflage - so that part of the prophecy is fulfilled. The witches also promise Macbeth that no man born of woman can kill him. Macduff was born by Caesarian section, after the death of his mother - so technically he was not born of a woman, but of a corpse. You just can't trust these witches - though they do tell him to beware of Macduff (that part was good advice).
