The asteroids stay together because of gravity, because of orbital stability around the sun, and because of the graviometric influence of Jupiter, the other planets, and each other.

How come all of the planets are spherical?

No planet is spherical, that would imply they are completely smooth. All Planets are roughly spherical because of the process of planetary formation. That is that asteroids group together under the influence of gravity, this cluster of asteroids would have its own gravitational field, and therefore attract more asteroids. More asteroids means more gravity, which means still more asteroids. So you get this runaway effect where more and more asteroids are being drawn together while the asteroids in the middle are starting to get squashed. Once you have a big enough ball of asteroids it becomes a good estimation to say 'It's roughly spherical'. If the ball is massive enough it can even start pulling in the surrounding gasses, forming an atmosphere.
