after the battle, the three witches greet Macbeth by calling him by three titles:
Thane of Glamis
Thane of Cawdor
King thereafter
by saying hello!
Following their pitched battle with the enemy forces, Macbeth and Banquo encounter the witches as they cross a moor. The witches prophesy that Macbeth will be made thane (a rank of Scottish nobility) of Cawdor and eventually King of Scotland. They also prophesy that Macbeth's companion, Banquo, will beget a line of Scottish kings, although Banquo will never be king himself. The witches vanish.
"All our service!" In other words, "We are your servants!"
He kindly thanks and rewards them for winning the war.
Calling him Thane of Cawdor took him aback. Calling him "king hereafter" was even more startling.
King.
Macbeth is seeing the ghost of Banquo and this is causing him to act crazily, spoiling the party. Lady M tries to get him to settle down. But things get worse. Macbeth starts to say things which might give away the fact that he had Banquo murdered. Lady M then decides that she has to get rid of the guests.
Lady Macbeth tells the guests that this is just a strange habit Macbeth has. "Think of this, good peers, But as a thing of custom. 'Tis no other; Only it spoils the pleasure of the time."
Macbeth wrote Lady Macbeth a letter describing his encounter with the witches. Lady Macbeth reads it out at the beginning of Act I Scene 5
In Act 2 Scene 1, Macbeth is onstage and Lady Macbeth is not. I think Macbeth in Act 1 Scene 5 is heading back to his castle called "Inverness" to talk to his wife (Lady Macbeth) about what happened with the witches and to come back from the war that just happened. Possibly you were thinking of Act 2 Scene 2 where she is talking and he is stabbing Duncan.
Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth to kill Duncan in act 1. She is stronger and more manly than Macbeth.
In Act 3, the banquet scene from Shakespeare's "Macbeth," Lady Macbeth is distressed by her husband's behavior as he hallucinates and appears guilty in front of their guests. She tries to cover for him, dismissing the guests and attempting to calm Macbeth, showing concern for their reputation and her own power dynamics. Overall, Lady Macbeth struggles to control the situation and maintain appearances while dealing with her husband's unraveling mental state.

That depends on who you mean by the guest, and when. In Act 3, Scene 1, Macbeth calls Banquo "our chief guest." Macbeth is the one who dismisses Banquo after that conversation, saying "Hie you to horse. Adieu, / Till your return at night." If you mean the guests at the dinner party in Act 3, Scene 4 (after Banquo has been murdered and is appearing at the dinner as a ghost), Lady Macbeth dismisses them by saying "At once, good night. / Stand not upon the order of your going, / But go at once."

First they drink toasts to them, then frighten them, then push them unceremoniously out of the door.
In Act 3, Scene 1 of Macbeth, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth exhibit a mixture of apprehension, ambition, and a growing sense of paranoia. Macbeth is increasingly consumed by his guilt and fear of losing power, while Lady Macbeth struggles to maintain control over their destiny despite their mounting troubles.

Lady Macbeth covers for Macbeth at the banquet by implying to the guests that he has had similar disturbing episodes since childhood, and that they should simply ignore his behavior. She says that Macbeth's visions are a known ailment and advises the guests to leave him alone in his current state.
Lady Macbeth tells the guests that Macbeth has had similar "fits" since his youth, suggesting it is nothing out of the ordinary for him. She urges them to ignore his behavior and carry on with the feast as planned.
