If I concentrate on the pfsense would it be possible to use a vigor 130 modem and use the pfsense to authenticate to the ISP? Then turn on the pfsense firewall and NAT to control traffic and any NAT that is currently used?

Yes. Assuming it's a PPPoE connection, which it almost certainly is with that modem.

Do those switches support stacking with cross-chassis LACP?
If so you should use that for redundancy.

I just came across this video, which might give you some ideas.

@stephenw10 Hi, Yes the ISP will be using PPPoE
And No Multi-chassis Link Aggregation Group (MLAG). Support on the switches
