Ho Chi Minh had a "handle" on that program, he wasn't worried about it. It was Diem of South Vietnam who refused the elections...saying the communists might win it (something to the effect that they were fixed).

Who broke the Geneva accords by not allowing free elections in south Vietnam?
The government of South Vietnam, under President Ngo Dinh Diem, is often cited as the entity that broke the Geneva Accords by not allowing free elections in South Vietnam as stipulated in the agreement. Diem feared that the communists would win the elections and chose not to hold them, which violated the Accords. This played a significant role in escalating the conflict and leading to the Vietnam War.

Why were the Geneva accords temporarily separating north Vietnam and south Vietnam?
The Geneva agreement was held the day after Dien Bien Phu fell. President Eisenhower wanted the French to keep fighting, however the French had had enough. Ho chi Minh, the communist leader of North Vietnam, was extremely popular throughout the whole of Vietnam. this is why the Vietminh wanted early elections so the people of Vietnam could elect Ho Chi Minh. The Western powers were worried about Ho Chi Minh's poularity, and therefore wanted a long delay. They agreed on deviding Vietnam along the 17th parallel and decide an election should take place two years later. This election never came.

When did US stop elections in Vietnam war?
I am not sure exactly what this question refers to. The US did not stop any elections during the Vietnam war. Certainly not in the United States. If the question refers to elections in Vietnam, actually in 1956 (before the US involvement), Ngo Dinh Diem stopped the elections called for in the 1954 Geneva Accords. It was only under US pressure, that he finally agreed to hold the elections which were held in 1959

What sparked North Vietnam to assault South Vietnam during the Vietnam Conflict era?
There was probably no spark. It was Ho Chi Minh's plan to unite the two countries from the beginning. Infiltration from the north into the south began almost immediately in the 1950's. I think you could rightfully call the Geneva Accords the "spark". It was the Geneva Accords in 1954 that divided Vietnam into two separate countries with promises to hold general elections to unify it. However, when those elections were not held, the Viet Minh, rulers of the north, decided to unite the country by force.
