Best Answer

Fredo was older than Michael and felt he never got the proper respect. There is a debate if he really didn't know his Michael would be assassinated ( attempted to anyways) and he was making a power grab, or if he legitimately was trying to help and be more independent

Michael had Tessio killed because Tessio betrayed the family by arranging Michaels assassination at the peace summit with the enemies Barzini and Tattaglia, which Michael realised when Tessio told Michael he had set up the meeting to be held on his territory in Brooklyn. Tessio would have inherited control over the Corleone family after Michael's death.
