The Alamo was just one of many religious missions that the Spanish built as they were conquering Mexico and the American Southwest. The purpose was to provide a place where missionaries could live and work with the native people and convert them to Catholicism. When Mexico declared its independence from Spain, the missions became the property of the new Mexican government.

How did the outcome of the Alamo affect the rest of the Mexican-America war?

The Alamo was a battle fought during the Texas war of independence from Mexico (1835-1836), not during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). It didn't mean much to the final outcome of the war, as it was almost by any accounts a massacre: 2,400 Mexican troops killed all but two of 182-260 Texans at the Alamo. The battle has been used, however, as a symbol of the Texan Independence Movement with "Remember the Alamo!" as the battle cry with most significance.
