Philman,
Here are some answers for you:
Are those of us who served but didn't serve in combat be eligible since it's VFW or is this only reserved for its members? It is open to everyone, both veterans and non-veterans. The jobs are advertised on VetJobs which is sponsored by the VFW (actually own 10%) and endorsed by many veteran service organizations like the MOPH, VVA, SVA, AUSN, NGAUS, etc. Is this restricted to honorable service or are those who messed up and got a General, OTH or BC discharge welcome to apply?
Anyone who would be eligible to work in Canada can apply

Is the VFW going to help push the paperwork or help pay for getting a passport?
No, the VFW is advertising the openings through VetJobs (www.vetjobs.com), a military job board in which they own 10%. VetJobs purpose over the last 13 years has been to get veterans, their spouses and children qulaity employment.

Do vets even need a passport to get hired to begin with?
You can visit Canada on your drivers license or a military ID card, but to stay and work I believe you need a visa.

Thanks for the answers.

You might want to read reply #41. It says you're wrong on some things and the link is the State Dept. website.
