UN forces stopped at the Iraq-Kuwait border.
The UN Operation Desert Storm proceeded to liberate Kuwait and invade Iraq from Saudi and Kuwaiti territory in early 1991. Kuwait (along with the U.S., Britain, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia) invaded Iraq in 1991.
Kuwait, to Iraq's southwest, was conquered by Iraq in 1990. It was considered the 19th province of Iraq since during the Ottoman Period, Kuwait was part of the Mesopotamian region dominated by Iraq. However, the separation of Kuwait by the British early on made it independent to all but the Iraqis.
Yes, but the intervention was delayed for six months to get the necessary UN approval.
The terms of surrender in the Persian Gulf War, specifically for Iraq, were outlined in UN Security Council Resolution 687, adopted in April 1991. Iraq was required to withdraw from Kuwait, accept the destruction of its weapons of mass destruction, and allow for inspections by the UN. Additionally, Iraq had to pay compensation for the damages caused during the invasion of Kuwait. The ceasefire officially took effect on April 11, 1991, following Iraq's acceptance of these terms.
Iraq was expected to honor the sovereignty of Kuwait and if Iraq did not, the United Nations would do what ever was necessary to protect Kuwait. The stances of both Iraq and the UN resulted in the Gulf War.

The Persian Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm) was a direct result of the annexation of Kuwait by Iraq. Within just a few days of Iraq's invasion, they conquered Kuwait and made it their 19th province and due to that conflict, the UN (led by the United States) stepped in to assist Kuwait.

The borders of Iraq reverted to antebellum borders. That is to say that Iraq's borders returned to the way they were before any war began. Iraq had the same borders in 1992 as it did 1989. (The Persian Gulf War was from 1990, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, to 1991, when the UN Coalition evicted Iraq from Kuwait.)
In the early 1990s, following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, the United Nations reacted swiftly by condemning the violation of international law and calling for Iraq's withdrawal. The UN Security Council imposed economic sanctions on Iraq and passed Resolution 678, authorizing the use of force to liberate Kuwait if Iraq did not comply by January 15, 1991. This led to the Gulf War, where a U.S.-led coalition intervened militarily to restore Kuwait's sovereignty. The UN's actions underscored its commitment to upholding international treaties and maintaining global peace and security.
No country invaded Iraq in 1991 for oil resources. The UN Coalition that invaded Iraq in 1991 did so to liberate Kuwait, an Emirate that Iraq had invaded in 1990 for their oil resources.
