Macbeth's cockiness in Act 5, Scene 3 is a result of his overconfidence stemming from the witches' prophecies. He believes in his invincibility due to the ambiguous nature of the prophecies, particularly the one about "none of woman born" being able to harm him. This false sense of security leads him to underestimate the threat posed by Macduff, ultimately contributing to his downfall.

Who dismisses the guest in Macbeth?

That depends on who you mean by the guest, and when. In Act 3, Scene 1, Macbeth calls Banquo "our chief guest." Macbeth is the one who dismisses Banquo after that conversation, saying "Hie you to horse. Adieu, / Till your return at night." If you mean the guests at the dinner party in Act 3, Scene 4 (after Banquo has been murdered and is appearing at the dinner as a ghost), Lady Macbeth dismisses them by saying "At once, good night. / Stand not upon the order of your going, / But go at once."

What do you think will happen in the play based upon what happens in act 1 scene 5 in Macbeth?

I can't answer because I have seen the play many times and acted in it so I know how it comes out. However, from this scene, especially Lady Macbeth's last line "Leave all the rest to me" and the end of her prayer "that my keen knife see not the wound it makes" you would get the impression that it was her plan to do the stabbing herself, and not browbeat Macbeth into doing it.

What does Macbeth see on how way to kill the king?

The page number differs according to the particular version. A more effective and more exact way of locating the royal murder is the identification of the specific act, scene and line number.
