No, Macduff wasn't killed. But his entire family and household were stabbed to death, in Act 4 Scene 2. The Fife Castle massacre of the Macduffs and everyone connected to them was arranged by Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. So Macduff bided his time for revenge. The opportunity came in Act 5 Scene 8, when he and Macbeth found themselves on the same part of the battlefield near Dunsinane Castle. Macduff killed and beheaded his opponent.

The wrong people. In order to thwart the prophecy about Banquo's children becoming kings, he has Banquo killed, but not his son Fleance. Fleance will go on to become the ancestor of kings. Macbeth killed the father when he should have killed the son. Then, in order to try to thwart the prophecy about Macduff, he has Macduff's son (and wife and other children) murdered. Macduff will go on to defeat Macbeth. Macbeth killed the son when he should have killed the father.
