 Solution

Suppose the continuous $f$ were not uniformly continuous. There would be an ${\epsilon }_0>0$ and pairs $x_n,y_n\in X$ with $d(x_n,y_n)<1/n$ but $|f(x_n)-f(y_n)|\ge {\epsilon }_0$. Sequential compactness gives a subsequence $x_{n_j}\to x\in X$. The triangle inequality gives $y_{n_j}\to x$ as well. Continuity at $x$ then gives $f(x_{n_j})-f(y_{n_j})\to 0$, a contradiction. Thus $f$ is uniformly continuous.

It need not be Lipschitz continuous. On the sequentially compact interval $[0,1]$, the continuous function $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ hasNo finite Lipschitz constant exists.
