The Contract Clause of the United States Constitution covers contract law. The clause was created to keep states from using "private relief" to allow certain individuals an escape from their financial obligations. The Contract Clause prevents states from enacting laws that impair legal contracts.

The provision in a contract mandating that all disputes arising under the contract be settled by arbitration is called a binding arbitration clause.
Yes, all clauses would be null and void if the original contract this was based on was not signed. There is no need for a non compete clause if there is not a contract.

Breaking a "no-compete" provision of a contract will subject the person breaking it to a lawsuit for damages under both a breach of contract action and the tort of interference with business opportunity action. Those damages would be reimbursement to the other party for all income it lost because of the violation of the no compete clause. Many no-compete contract provisions will also state other types of damages that could be recovered, such as forfeiting all income earned and paying attorneys' fees. There might also be punitive damages. Punitive damages are not a usual remedy for breach of contract cases, but they are a remedy for intentional torts as interference with a business opportunity most likely is.
there is no cut-off time for a contract unless it included a 'time is of the essence' clause. If you want to sue under a contract, it should be within two years of the time you should have known there was a breach.
The question is somewhat unclear. If the questioner is stating that Party "A" wrote a contract with Party "B" with a non-assignment clause, that means that Party "B" could not then go and sell the contract, in its entirety to Party "C." Whether or not the non-assignment clause allows Party "B" to sub out any work (as long as Party "B" remains responsible for the overall completion of the job) would depend on the specific wording contained in the contract.
