moonlighting clauses are fairly standard and I'd be surprised if your contract doesn't include one.

Yes, people violate their employment contracts.

The enforceability of moonlight contracts may vary. For example working at a software company and moonlighting as a barista is less likely to be enforceable than working at a software company and moonlighting at another (or moonlighting as a freelance developer), at least in the US, the second is probably a violation.
Not that this matters in the US since you're usually at will anyway.
