Unless you have a contract which limits your employer's right to fire you, or you are being discriminated against for some reason prohibited by statute (e.g. race, gender, religion, etc.), your employer can fire you for any reason, including refusing to agree to a non-compete contract.

If your agreement was in writing, you may have a shot. Otherwise, no case. Try a different lawyer, but I would not pay a lot for advice.

As a general matter, employers do not have to pay "vacation pay" unless they have agreed to do so. You do not set forth facts showing your clear entitlement to such pay.
