1. (Not sure about this one.) "bosom's lord" means Romeo, her love (she has taken Romeo to her bosom). He sits lightly on his throne (he belongs there and it suits her that he has this lordly position). In modern language: my heart belongs to Romeo, and I'm ok with that.
2: The gold (money) I give you for this poison (for the body) is a worse poison to the souls of men (by corrupting them) than the one you are giving me.
3. The tomb has swallowed Juliet (she is in a "maw" or mouth) and has eaten (gorged) with the "dearest morsel" (Juliet). In modern language: death has taken the most wonderful person on earth.
