It depends on the state law or statute where the employment occurs. For example, in Texas, the law is wide open for employers, in that an employer needs no more reason to terminate an employee than that they want to. In other words, in Texas, an employer does not need any reason to terminate you. Of course it is a two-way street, in that an employee is free to leave at any time, for cause, or just because he wants to. This may not be true in the state where you are employed.

At will employment
Termination in employment means no longer employed i.e. Fired or let go.
Not in most states, especially if it is a right-to-work state. The employer can terminate your employment for any reason that is not specifically prohibited by law i.e. race, religion, sex, disability, etc.
It depends upon your Contract of Employment and local legislation.
Express employment is also know as "at will employment" in the United States of America. It enables either the employer or employee to terminate the employment at any time and without notice unless a contract has been entered into by poth parties beforehand.
To end something for a reason. For example, we have an agreement that I will pay you for a bushel of tomatoes a week. If you do not bring me tomatoes, I would terminate our agreement for cause. It could also mean ending employment for a reason- if you failed to show up for work, your employment would be terminated for cause (you got fired).

Where you are forced by the authories to sign a resignation (a letter to say you are giving up your job) which will terminate your employment.
If an employer utilizes a non-compete clause, most employers will not even offer employment if a non-compete clause is not signed beforehand. However, if the employer wants to establish a non-compete clause with current employees after the fact, then it depends on what state you live in and what your employment contract contains. For instance, in an employment-at-will state, an employer can terminate your employment for no reason at all (except if protected under Federal laws such as discriminatory practices or retaliation to whistleblowing); in this case, yes, your employment could be terminated if you don't sign. If you are in a right-to-employment state or operate under an employment contract, then review your contract to determine if your employer can terminate employment if you do not sign.
Most employment is called 'at will'. This means either party has the option to terminate employment at any time and for any reason. You certainly could choose to leave your company.
It depends on the state you're in, I believe. I live in VA and an employee or employer can terminate the employment without good reason at any time. Normally an employer won't do this. Normally they give a warning.
