It's to respect a former President of the United States. There have only been 42 individuals to ever hold that office (1 served to non-consecutive terms), agree or disagree it's a hard job and we should show some respect to the former occupants.
Federal Agencies? any agency that is a part of the Government. This includes things ranging from the FBI and IRS to the department of State.

Federal Government offices will be closed. That means, The capitol, the Post Office, Federal Courts, and federally oriented agencies like the Federal Reserve bank. (So, banks insured by the FDIC will be closed, too.)
Each state has the option to close in remembrance or not. State and local agencies (Courts, DMV, libraries, etc) typically follow the State's lead. So, in CA our state offices will be open. I work for a county government, and we'll be open.
