What is the "speaker agreement" for EclipseCon? It would be nice if there were a link to it on the web site.

You're correct, that would be a good thing to have - I've filed a bug to track that feature request: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=251718
In the meantime, you can review the Eclipse Summit Europe 2008 speaker agreement - the EclipseCon 2009 agreement will be very similar/almost identical.

Related to this agreement, what happens if I submit a talk, it gets accepted, and then my employer tells me that there's no funding to sponsor my trip (I can't participate unless my employer sponsors my trip)?

Then you/we will have to cancel your talk. That's happened a few times in the past. It is awkward for the program committee because they've had to reject other talks to accept yours so it would be best to get approval to attend before signing the speaker agreement.
