Act 1 Scene 1: My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical,
Shakes so my single state of man that function
Is smother'd in surmise, and nothing is
But what is not. (1.3.9)
After the witchs' prediction (which did not include murder) McBeth can't function properly because his thoughts/actions are being "smothered" by his imagination. The only thing that is real is that he wants to murder McBath and get the crown. This is the beginning of McBeth's downfall.

What is Macbeth doing while lady Macbeth is talking in the beginning of act 2 scene 1?
In Act 2 Scene 1, Macbeth is onstage and Lady Macbeth is not. I think Macbeth in Act 1 Scene 5 is heading back to his castle called "Inverness" to talk to his wife (Lady Macbeth) about what happened with the witches and to come back from the war that just happened. Possibly you were thinking of Act 2 Scene 2 where she is talking and he is stabbing Duncan.

Where did Macbeth request Banquo's presence after talking to the three witches?
Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] didn't request Banquo's presence anywhere after talking to the three witches. He spoke to the witches in Act 4 Scene 1. Banquo already was dead at that time. The three murderers had killed him in Act 3 Scene 3. Instead, Macbeth requested Banquo's presence at a banquet after the murder of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and Macbeth's coronation the next day at Scone. This request was well after the first meeting of Banquo and Macbeth with the three witches.
