Offers and counteroffers (Ontario, Canada) have an 'irrevocable' date and
time and the signing is under seal. I expect that it is essentially the
same where you are. 'Irrevocable' means what it says - you cannot take it
back unless that date/time passes.
This should have been explained to you before you signed anything.
I am inclined to give your agent the benefit of the doubt. If other people
want to see your house, that's nice but unless they're prepared to make an
offer, it's all just fluff. You have a solid offer that you're
negotiating. Chances are that it's your best one.
