Answer 5

No, passports are NOT needed to travel to and from Mexico by land.  At a later date that has not yet been set...they will be.  If you live in a border area, you may want to get one of the new passport cards to use for land travel to Mexico after the passport regulation goes into effect.  see 1st site below for the current law.  See 2nd site for passport card info.  Right now, you need a photo I.D. and proof of citizenship....a passport OR birth certificate...you can no longer just SAY you are an American citizen.

You will very soon!

If you want to be able to get back home, yes.
