Many people think that the copy of Macbeth which was printed in the First Folio was not the play Shakespeare originally wrote. The play is very short for a Shakespeare play and several scenes have been written by another hand, probably by Thomas Middleton, who wrote some of the cutesy songs the witches are supposed to sing. It's thought that Middleton deleted some of Shakespeare's scenes to make room for his own (this was an honest effort, as apparently the audiences liked the cute and/or funny witches).
At the same time, some people think that the written versions of most of the plays are not the plays that were performed. The plays as written run for about three hours, but copies which look like performance versions (like Macbeth and the First Quarto of Hamlet) run for about two. There is also the phrase in the Prologue of Romeo and Juliet saying that the play would be the "two hours traffic of our stage." Perhaps Shakespeare wrote these three hour long plays which were then cut down to two for performance (as they often are nowadays).

Where was the murder of King Duncan set to take place?
According to the play 'Macbeth', King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] was set to be murdered in his bed. He was an overnight guest of Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057], at Inverness Castle. The King had dinner, and was ready to go to sleep. He only had two royal guards nearby. He undoubtedly was tired from the journey, and needed a good night's sleep before his departure early the following morning. He was isolated, poorly protected, and vulnerable. It was an opportune situation for Macbeth to get away with murder with his wife's help.

Where did Malcolm go after his father's death?
Malcolm went to England after his father's death. In Act 2 Scene 2 of the Shakespearean play, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] of Scotland and his two royal guards were stabbed to death by Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. The bloodied corpses and the bloodied crime scene were altered to make it look as though the guards had murdered their sovereign, and in turn had been murdered through Macbeth's righteous fury. But the King's sons, the elder and future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093] and the younger and future King Donald III [d. 1099], were suspicious of Macbeth. They feared that they'd be the next victims. So they decided to flee Scotland. Malcolm went to England, and Donalbain to Ireland.

Who is more ambitious Macbeth or lady Macbeth?
I would say that Lady Macbeth is the most abitious out of the two.This is simple because the play is based around masculinity and In Lady Macbethsmonologue she says the words "unsex me here" and "Take my milk for gall"If we also look at the play in the moments before Duncan is killed, Macbeth has feelings that he shouldn't go through with what he is told to, but who else is there but Lady Macbeth to force him to see it through.In short, as soon as Lady Macbeth finds out what Macbeth is prophesized to become she really does start to pressure him into "Becoming a man" and fufilling what has been foretold.I hope this helped :)
