I have no idea why you would get the idea that Banquo does not want to put out a candle. He is only in two scenes where he is in the dark: Act II Scene 1 and Act III Scene 3. In the latter he carries a torch which he drops when he is attacked. In the former he and his son are talking about how dark the night is: the moon is down and the stars (nights' candles) are not visible. But there is nothing which would suggest that he is carrying a candle. Some directors might put it in, but it is not in the script.

Why does Macbeth worry that he has killed Duncan more for Banquo and sake than for his own?

In Macbeth's mind there is no justification for killing Duncan. He didn't really want to do it ("We shall proceed no further in this business") and regrets it the moment it is done. In the case of Banquo, however, his reasoning has been blunted by his fear and paranoia ("My fears in Banquo stick deep."). His fear of Banquo is unfounded, but in Macbeth's mind it does provide a justification of sorts.
