The phrase "thou art a lily-livered boy" is an insult implying that someone is cowardly or lacking courage. It suggests that the person is weak-willed or easily frightened, similar to the connotation of being timid or spineless.

What other insults does Tybalt give to Romeo?

You mean apart from the highly lame, "Thou art a villain."? Well, he calls him "boy" and also uses the form "Thou art" rather than "you are". The "thou art" form was the one used with servants, implying that Romeo was an inferior (that is why it died out in polite conversation). Basically, Tybalt was pretty feeble at insults; he could use a lesson from Kent in King Lear, or Falstaff.
