Both of them are brave and ambitious. Macbeth becomes the Thane of Cawdor and is prompted by the witches' prophesy and his wife's goading to kill Duncan and become king of Scotland. Unlike Macbeth, Banquo does not act to fulfill these prophecies, relying on his better judgement and morals instead. Nevertheless, true to the witches' word, he becomes the father of kings. These are the basics and if you want some more you should visit these sites:

Unfortunately I am incapable of helping you with your others question, but may be you could find some information for them in the sites, whom urls I have given you for Macbeth.
