She absolutely does NOT know that Macbeth has secretly plotted Banquo's death. Good grief; it's plainly in the text. She asks him: "What's to be done?" And he says to her: "Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest Chuck, till thou applaud the deed."

In other words, she asks him what he's planning to do, and he tells her that it's better for her not to know.

Later, when Banquo's ghost shows up and she sees/hears Macbeth railing at it, the chances are that she puts two and two together.

yes she knew im pretty sure she was part of the scheme the entire time she was totally in on it

If i remember correctly, Macbeth had killed Banquo because he wanted one of his son's to become king one day, and Lady Macbeth didn't know about it until after it was done with.
