He kills Duncan because the witches foretold that he would - at the beginning with the witches they had a prophecy that he would end up being the king. He does it because he thinks he has no other choice and to better his status in the world.

Macbeth's feelings are very mixed. The speech in which he talks about his thoughts is hard to understand. Fortunately, Spark Notes has editions of a few of Sh.'s plays in which what Sh. wrote is on the left, and on the right is a paraphrase in English anyone can understand. When you read that, it should be clear.

Continue to read (the link to each 'next page' is on the bottom right corner) into Act 2, scene 2, and that'll answer your second question as well.

He's scared at first then his wife lady macbeth basically calls him a coward. He sees a bloody dagger on his way to kill Duncan. He kills Duncan but forgets to leave the dagger so they can frame the guards. Any more questions about macbeth I can answer..feel free to email me.
