Macduff assumed at first that Malcom and Donalbain hired the soldiers to kill their father and they fled to avoid any confrontations. However, it is evident that they fled because they suspected that they were the targets of a conspiracy.

Macduff's decision to return home to Fife rather than travel to Scone to see Macbeth's coronation is an open display of opposition. Thus, Macbeth begins to eye Macduff as his primary competition and opposition for the throne.

It looks as if Malcolm and Donalbain have left the country because they are guilty of their father's murder and don't want to be caught. Macduff says in Act II Scene IV, "Malcolm and Donalbain, the king's two sons, are stolen away and fled which puts upon them the suspicion of the deed." And of course as long as everyone thinks the sons did it, nobody is suspecting Macbeth.

Why does Macbeth not want to fight Macbeth?

Macbeth didn't want to fight Macduff, because he didn't want to add any more bloodied casualties to the Fife Castle massacre body count. In Act 4 Scene 2, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] had Macduff's entire family and household massacred at the Macduffs' home of Fife Castle. In Act 5 Scene 8, Macduff finally caught up with Macbeth and challenged him to fight. Macbeth didn't want to fight for two reasons. The reason that he didn't reveal was the witches' warning to beware of Macduff. The reason that he did reveal was the weight on his soul from having ordered the Fife Castle massacre.

Why doesn't Macbeth confide in Banjo?

Macbeth doesn't confide in Banquo because he sees Banquo as a threat to his ambition. Banquo's descendants are said to be kings according to the witches' prophecy, which poses a risk to Macbeth's position as king. Macbeth becomes increasingly paranoid and seeks to eliminate anyone who might challenge his rule.
