Is it wise to tell a potential employer that you were terminated from your last job?
Yes, if you are directly asked. Either way, do not lie. If your application reads "why did you leave your last position" you do not have a choice. You have to tell the truth. You do not have to volunteer the information if you are not asked.
How do I answer references name and address?
You have to ask someone (a previous employer for a work reference or someone who knows you well for a personal reference) if they are willing to supply a reference for you (this is the polite and courteous thing to do). If they are willing then you write their name and address on your application where this question is asked (stating whether the reference is personal or work related).

Yes, you can list someone as a job reference without their knowledge. It is a normal expectation that if you have worked for someone (or with someone) previously, you can mention that fact, and your former employer (or coworker)should be willing to confirm it if asked.
Does a present employer have to give a potential employer a reference if he is asked?
no, anything on a employee is confidential. but if someone calls and ask "is Jane doe there? they can say "yes," and ask if you would like to leave a message. but they don't have to give out any data if they don't want to. Have to, no. Can, yes. Because of many potential problems, many employers today as a matter of policy, will only agree to confirm you were an employee and the dates of your employment. (And virtually all go at least that far). Also, consider form many it may be better that an employer states they do not provide references or information on past employees as a matter of policy...than give what they feel is an honest response (that may not be complimentary).
