I was just offered a "Becoming a vassal" type of agreement with the polish Aholes that broke my alliances TWICE and attacked me TWICE. I got a ceasefire agreement and they attack me AGAIN.

If you become someone's vassal, you are in theory an extension of their lands. Your territories count for their victory conditions and once your treasury goes above 15k, you pay the extra as tribute to your lord. Vassalage however isn't that permanent seeing as how you can break off the vassalage at any time just by attacking them. Generally, never become a vassal unless the country is incredibly superior to you or you dont want to bother fighting them right now
