When somebody is fired for retail fraud, there are papers that are signed which form a "Confidientiality Agreement" which pretty much states that the information that was discussed stays only between the people in the room and the lawyers; nobody is else is supposed to find out. If this agreement was broken and everybody at the store found out, customers even found it, and the family members and friends of the person fired found out, are there any legal reprecussions for the business who violated that agreement?

Second question: if a confession was made to an member of LP regarding retail fraud, no arrests were made, no police report filed, how well can that confession alone hold up in in court? I.E. They only have lets say, $100 worth of physical evidence being removed from their store on CCTV but they have a confession for $8000, will they be awarded the confessed amount or only what they can actually physically prove was removed from the store from that specific person.

Assuming you can prove who, precisely, breached the agreement, whatever penalty spelled out in the agreement upon a breach would apply.
