Answer 1

Answer 2

It means manning up and doing things even if you're afraid.

Answer 3

Here's the modern equivalent:

"I'm ready.  Act casual."

Answer 4

I honestly don't remember that portion. But from context of Macbeth I would think it means:

I've finished(whatever he's talking about), and now

everyone will know what has become of me.

Go away and don't think very much of it, please.

I'm trying to hide what I know I can't conceal.

Answer 5

"I am settled" - I have settled on a plan.

"And bend up" - like bending a bow (i.e. he's wound up tight)

"Each corporal agent to this terrible feat." - every bone, muscle in his body is ready to do this terrible deed.

"Mock the time with fairest show"- put on a smiling face as if to make fun of the decision

"False face must hide what the false heart doth know." - obvious

Macbeth is about to do a horrible deed. He is going to kill his friend and his king. Plus he is going to do it in his house and betray the trust the king put in him. To make matters worse, he is going to frame the King's son. He has begun to trade his humanity for the sake of his ambition.
