What is the dramatic irony in Duncan's gift to Lady Macbeth?
"This castle hath a pleasant seat. The air sweetly and nimbly commends itself to our senses." What a nice house! (But he doesn't know he will die because of going there.)"Herein I teach you how you shall bid God'ild you for your pains, and thank us for your trouble." Duncan has basically said, "The party is at Macbeth's place in Inverness!" without consulting the Macbeths first. Now the Macbeths are put to the trouble of hosting the party. But it will be no trouble, says Duncan, it will be worth it. Well, that is what Lady Macbeth is thinking, but not for the reasons Duncan thinks.
What was Macbeth's reward for his bravery in battle?
In Act I he earns the title Thane of Cawdor by defeating Macdonweald. In Act III he earns the Crown by killing Duncan. He shortly thereafter also earns the contempt of his people, a reputation for instability, a severe case of paranoia and the dissolution of his marriage.

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.

Who is the traitor whom Macbeth killed in battle?
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.
