This depends on whether you are concerned about entering Mexico or returning to the USA. Since Mexican tourist permits are generally issued for 180 days, if your passport will expire before you come back, then yes, your passport should be valid for six months past the entry date. But if you are asking whether the Mexican government has such a requirement, the answer is no.

There is some confusion about this. The US Consular Service website say yes, but the Mexican government Immigration websites say nothing about the length of validity, unless you are applying for a visa for lucrative activity. I have never heard of anyone being denied entry as long as their US passport was valid when they entered Mexico. However, your passport must be valid when you return to the USA.

No. It must be valid for the entire duration of your INTENDED stay. Round-trip tickets will usually work as proof.

They can, but they must register for ESTA first, if they haven't before, to see if they are approved to enter the US.
