Companions are scripted to eat food and other things while being idle in the Lucky38. That is not a bug, it's just normal. If you don't like them to do that, keep your food etc. elsewhere, or don't tell them to wait at the 38 (they'll go to their 'home' instead).
After Arcade gives you his father's armor, he is supposed to become unrecruitable after that. It's not a bug, it's just the way his quest wraps up and yes it kinda svcks. Finish his quest, you lose him as a companion. .
I have no idea if you're supposed to be able to 'fire' him like that afterwards tho...I thought he tells you goodbye and just went away on his own. Not sure about that part.
