Answer 1

From Mexico City, drive to Puebla to see the large Pyramid at Cholula. From Puebla, go to Oaxaca and see the ruins at Monte Alban and Mitla. From there head to San Cristobal de las Casa--while there visit Na Bolom. From there head toward Palenque, but along the way stop in Ocosingo to view the ruins at Tonina. After Tonina, if it's hot you can stop for a swim at Agua Azul. From there, it's 69 kilometers to Palenque. Get a room in Palenque town and save the ruins for the next morning. After visiting the ruins at Palenque head north to the main highway. At the Pemex station turn left and head to Villahermosa. In Villahermosa see La Venta Museum-Park and the Museo de Antropología Carlos Pellicer. From Villahermosa go to Campeche. Then between Campeche and Merida you can see the ruins at Edzna, Kabah, Labna and Uxmal.

After a night in Merida, head to Chichen Itza. Then depending on how much time is left, you can head straight to Cancun or explore the Yucatan peninsula some more.

Answer 2

You should just stop and see the cities you find interesting along the route from Mexico City to Cancun. Without any major stops it takes 2 days to get from Mexico City to Cancun, so that leaves plenty of time to see Mexico City, Puebla, Oaxaca, and Merida. In Mexico City don't miss the Museo Nacional de Antropoligia, Teotihuacan and the Palacio de bellas artes. In Puebla, visit the historical center of the city. In Oaxaca, go to Monte Alban.

As far as the Volcanoes, you can see it from both Mexico City and Puebla when it is not too cloudy and the highway that goes south takes you near them. You can only climb the dormant one, but I believe the climb would take a few days and is only for expert climbers with a guide.
