Yes, he does.
As in England calling your son the Prince of Wales marks him as the heir apparent, Duncan's calling Malcolm the Prince of Cumberland marked him as the next king. This would certainly be "a step on which [Macbeth] must fall down, or else o'erleap."
At the end of the play Macduff gave Macbeth two choices; surrender and live under the rightful king of Scotland or die. Macbeth chose death.
At the end of Shakespeare's play Macbeth; Malcolm, son of Duncan is proclaimed to be King of Scots. (In actual history, Macbeth was succeeded by his son Lulach; who was then was assassinated and deposed by Malcolm)
The witches show Macbeth a procession of Banquo's descendants as kings.
In Macbeth? King Duncan names his son Malcolm The Prince of Cumberland who is the heir apparent. After his murder, Malcolm flees so Macbeth is named to be King but later on in the play Malcolm, Duncan's son, becomes king.
In Scene 4 of "Macbeth," Malcolm is named heir to the throne, thwarting Macbeth's ambition to become king. This presents an obstacle because Macbeth now needs to find a way to eliminate Malcolm as a contender for the crown.
Malcolm, son of King Duncan, was crowned King of Scotland after Macbeth's death. He was able to reclaim the throne with the help of his ally, Macduff.

The historical king Macbeth of Scotland, after a long and relatively peaceful reign of seventeen years, was faced with an invasion by Malcolm son of Duncan and was defeated by him.

I'm guessing that you are asking two questions: "How does Malcolm feel about Macbeth?" and "What has Macbeth done to become the king?" The answer to the second question is simple: Macbeth killed King Duncan in order to become king. The answer to the first question is almost as simple: Malcolm hates and fears Macbeth. I hope your command of English is sufficient to understand this answer.
No, Malcolm is not Macbeth's son. In Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," Malcolm is the son of King Duncan of Scotland. Macbeth is a nobleman who later becomes king through treacherous means.
No, Macduff was not the king of Scotland. The title of king of Scotland was held by Duncan at the beginning of Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," and later by Malcolm after overthrowing Macbeth. Macduff plays a key role in helping Malcolm reclaim the throne but he himself does not become the king.
At the end of Shakespeare's play Macbeth; Malcolm, son of Duncan is proclaimed to be King of Scots. (In actual history, Macbeth was succeeded by his son Lulach; who was then was assassinated and deposed by Malcolm)
