We have to distinguish here between being a traitor to Scotland and being a traitor to the king. Macbeth is certainly a traitor to his king by murdering him. But is he a traitor to Scotland? Perhaps in the sense that the atmosphere of unease and paranoia he creates with his own unease and paranoia does Scotland no good. However, look closely at Malcolm. Malcolm invades Scotland with an English army, and his closest confidant is Siward, an Englishman. His first act as king is to abolish the Scottish title of Thane and set up the English one of Earl. Culturally and politically he is betraying Scotland to the English.

What does macduff vow to do to Macbeth and why?
After learning that he killed Macdonwald, the Thane of Cawdor (the traitor of Scotland), Duncan makes Macbeth the new Thane of Cawdor. He makes Macbeth the Thane because of his valiance in battle. After all, when a battle is done now-a days, awards and battle decorations are handed out, and the guys who were the bravest, most valiant soldiers are given awards like the Medal of Honor. Except that Macdonwald (whom Macbeth unseamed from the nave to the chaps) is a totally different person from "That most disloyal traitor, the Thane of Cawdor" (who was captured and later executed "Is execution done on Cawdor?"). In fact, they must have been involved in two totally seperate battles (as indeed they were historically) because Macbeth had no idea that the Thane of Cawdor was a traitor or had been condemned when the witches predict that he will be Cawdor or when Ross announces that he has been given the title. He could not have been involved in that battle. Macbeth was given the title of Thane of Cawdor for his valour in battle all right, but not because he had personally defeated the previous Thane. Macbeth never fought the previous Thane.
