Yes, by law, they have to pay you.

Most companies have a policy for "at will" employment. Which means that the employee or employer can terminate their employment at will. That would mean that the 2 week notice is just a courtesy and not a rule.
That said companies tend to have different policies for vacation. If it is true vacation earned by you through your employment with the company either the company should pay you for the time or allow you to take that vacation before terminating you from their payroll.
However most companies have a use it or lose it policy for Floating holidays, so you may want to check your company handbook or HR to understand the policy.

The employer is not obligated by law to give you the accrued vacation time. It is up to them (HR department, owner, boss, etc.). More specifically, I think you're wanting to give two weeks notice, but at the same time take those two weeks off. Which is fine if they agree to it. Don't however take two weeks vacation, then call them the day you're supposed to be back at work and say you got another job. Burning bridges is never a good thing.

If it is listed in something that you signed, during the hiring process, that you have to give a certain amount of a notice before ending your employment, you better stay that amount of time if you want your vacation pay. Otherwise, if a supervisor or anyone in the company is telling you not to worry about that paper you signed, get them to put that in writing and hang on to that paper.
If you adhere to the conditions above, you can get your vacation pay and holiday pay, provided that the holiday pay does not have some kind of other stipulation to it. You need to get the company policy in writing. Ask someone in HR to see the policy, they have to give it to you (and make a copy of it).

It should be spelled out in their policy and whatever that says is what they have to do. Was it spelled out to you and what do they do with others who have similar examples? It's not required by law. An employer does not have to accrue vacation and comp time. Use it or lose it policy.

By law, you are entitled to all of your accrued PTO or vacation time that is unused. Expect to see a separate check with your vacation time pay on it.

You may have given your two week notice but you have to be sure to work those two weeks other wise they can say you didn't follow through and quit without notice. I quit one job and they said they didn't need me my last two weeks and in the end they kept all my vacation time and turned it on me. Follow through with the work on last two weeks and legally they cannot keep and hours from you.

Yes, they do have to pay you your vacation hours, but I don't think they have to pay the four floating holidays.

It varies by state, check with your state department of employment security and they'll let you know, or check with HR at your employer, they have to give it to you if required by state law and can't lie to you about whether or not you are entitled to it.
