Upon decoding the Zimmerman telegram, U.S. citizens’ attitudes toward the British softened, while their attitude toward Mexicans and Germans hardened. Many U.S. citizens, according to Michael Neiberg, began to see the British as allies, and Germans as enemies. This shift in public sentiment helped ease the United States’ entry into World War I.

It didn't. The Zimmermann note was sent from Germany to Mexico in early 1917, three years after the war began. It was supposed to entice a Mexican invasion of the US, but the British intercepted it and sent it to the US. It was one of the reasons the US entered the war.

Yes. It is what also sparked the U.S. to get involved in the war.
