. . . and I'll no longer be a Capulet."

To understand the line, you need the whole thing and you need to punctuate it right.

"Deny thy father and refuse thy name, or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be a Capulet."

She is outlining two possibilities: First, Romeo can deny his father (Montague) and refuse his name (also Montague), but if he doesn't want to do that (if he will not), we move on to option two, which is that Juliet will "no longer be a Capulet". Provided he will swear to love her (be but sworn my love), of course.

No, your quotation is wrong. The correct quotation is "Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo?" The word "wherefore" does not mean "where", it means "why", so the quotation means "Romeo, Romeo! Why are you Romeo?" Juliet is asking why she had to fall in love with Romeo, the son of Montague, since she is supposed to hate all Montagues.

What does 'o romeo wherefore art thou romeo deny thy father and refuse thy name or if thou wilt not be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be a Capulet mean?

This quote from Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet" means Juliet is questioning why Romeo must be a Montague, as their families are feuding. She asks him to reject his family name for the sake of their love. Juliet suggests that if Romeo agrees to be her lover, she will no longer consider herself a Capulet, thus emphasizing how love transcends family allegiances.
