Agree with and Agree to, what is the difference?? Agree with someone means to have the same opinion I guess. but what does "Agreed to" mean in this sentences "My boss has agreed to give me a holiday!" does it mean accept?

Yes it means he accepts. To agree with means to agree about an idea, opinion of another person. "I agree with you." means I think your idea is correct. "I agree to" means you are prepared to do something for the other person. "He agreed to let me go early" - he accepted my request to leave early.

Presumably you are asking which preposition to use, rather than how to use an infinitive after "agree". The answer is this. We agree with a person. We agree to a plan, a scheme or a proposal.

The grammar for your sentence "My boss…" is to do with "agree + to-infinitive", and not "agree to". Some verbs are used with a "to-infinitive". Examples: I hope to see you tomorrow. We can afford to go on a holiday. She claims to be the Queen. My boss agreed to give me a pay rise. (He said yes.)
