Signing and then canceling
What happens if you sign and then decide to take another offer before you start if the contract says either side can end it at anytime?
Is that considered a real bad thing to do or does it happen regularly?

If the contract says you can renege on signing and you think your other offer will suit your career path and interests more closely, then do it.
In this current economic climate I don't think reneging is very common but it does happen from time to time.
Fuck legality. Let's talk about morality.
