Is this in violation of any work laws or ethics?
Is it considered a "no show" and reasonable cause to fire someone if you do not have a work schedule made and call them 1 hour before the next shift to ask them if they are coming in, without any prior notice, and they say no? This is not an "on call" or mandating type job. Can they fire you if you say no?
And also, is it illegal or in violation of any codes if an employer refuses to fire you so he doesnt have to pay you unemployment yet reduces the hours on your schedule to almost nothing?

Unless you have an employment contract, or an union you can be fired at any time for any reason. If you tell your employer you're not coming to work when they ask you to, that is a justified firing.
It is not illegal or violation to refuse to fire someone and reduce their hours. You're free to quit.

You're more than likely working in an "at-will" state, so they can fire you for whatever reason they like, with the exception of discriminating against a protected class as a reason for the adverse employment action.
And they answer to the last part, again is no.

Employment in all states except Montana is at will. That means you can quit at any time with or without notice and for any reason or no reason at all. It also means they can terminate you for no reason or any reason that does not violate EEOC guidelines.
If your hours are cut enough you can apply for unemployment. It pays partial benefits for under employed people.
