Who discovers duncan has been murdered?
Duncan was the King of England, and was the lover of Macbeth. He was murdered, because in order for Macbeth to fulfill his plan and become king, Duncan would have to die. Duncan's fatal flaw was that he was too trusting. For example, he thought that none of his friends could really be enemies. If Duncan was more careful about his safety at Macbeth's castle, he may have had a chance to survive. But Duncan's flaw, wasn't something so horrible that he should die. Most people need to trust each other more, and just because one person did, he shouldn't have to die. Macbeth, possibly encouraged by the weakened position of Duncan, formed an alliance with their first cousin Thorfinn, earl of Orkney, Caithness and Sutherland under the King of Norway started a revolt. The rival armies met and Duncan was defeated and killed on August 1, 1040 near Elgin in Moray. There is some dispute as to the exact nature of Duncan's death, some texts say he died in battle and others say he was killed shortly after the battle by Macbeth.

Is Macbeth fully responsible for the way in which he acted or are other people just as responsible?
This is really a matter of personal opinion. You can say that, since Macbeth was the one who actually killed King Duncan, he is the one at fault, though, it can also be argued that, as she deeply encouraged Macbeth to take over the throne, Lady Macbeth is just as responsible, maybe even more at fault. It should be said, though, that Macbeth was already desiring the throne even before Lady Macbeth said anything to him about it... In act one, scene four, lines 57-58, Macbeth says, "Stars, hide your fires;/ Let not light see my black and deep desires." He might not have gone through with anything, though, had he not been so encouraged by Lady Macbeth.
