Why did Woodrow Wilson send US Marines to Latin America?

The famous bandit-turned-revolutionary Pancho Villa was opposing the Mexican government of Venustiano Carranza, which had been recognized by the US. His troops killed 17 US employees of the Mexican railway, and Villa later attacked and burned part of the town of Columbus, New Mexico. President Woodrow Wilson thought that supporting Carranza was the best way to create a stable Mexican government. He refused to allow arms to be supplied to Villa's army and allowed US railroads to transport Carranza's troops. After the attack on Columbus, Wilson ordered General John J. Pershing and 4800 troops to hunt for Villa and his men. Unfortunately, Villa had hidden and lost few men. The expedition ended after several engagements between the US troops and Mexican federal troops, even though both armies were ostensibly chasing Villa.

Did Wilson send troops to the western front before the election of 1916?

Woodrow Wilson ran for reelection in 1916 under the slogan, "He kept us out of war." The United States did not officially enter World War I until 1917, after Germany declared unrestricted submarine warfare, so no troops were sent over prior to that date. However, some Americans decided to join the militaries of other countries; for instance, some Americans joined the French army. America was also involved in other ways, including commerce, providing supplies for the countries that were actually fighting the war. So, no, Wilson did not send troops to the western front before the election of 1916. He wanted to keep our country out of war if at all possible, but after he was reelected, he felt compelled to ask Congress to declare war on Germany, in 1917.
