What does sombrero mean in Mexico?
It is a hat attributed to Mexicans. However, there are many kinds of hats Mexicans wear, but the stereotypical Mexican sombrero is not one of them.
The charro or mariachi-style Mexican sombrero became famous during the 1910-1921 Mexican Revolution, when many people from rural communities were photographed wearing them; famous revolutionary generals Francisco 'Pancho' Villa and Emiliano Zapata were fond on wearing such kind of hats. Almost a century later, the sombrero is as fashionable to Mexicans as the top hat - worn by president Abraham Lincoln - or boater hat - worn by traditional barbershop quartets - are to Americans.
Present-day Mexicans use other types of protection from the sun, such as caps and cowboy hats. Only mariachis and charros use sombreros, mostly for presentation or festivity purposes. On the other hand, sombreros are one of the many handcrafts Mexican vendors offer to American, Canadian and European tourists and are sold at good prices - at least for a couple of American dollars.

Orthodox Jews will always wear a Kippa (Yarmulke) and/or a hat to cover their head. Others will typically wear a Kippa when they enter the synagogue or participate in other religious ceremonies.
You can buy them at Jewish bookstores in cities that have a Jewish community. Alternatively, there are many sites online that sell kippot. Just do a search for 'yarmulkes' in a search engine such as Google and you'll find lots of place to purchase them online.

What is the fur hat called that Jews wear?
Shtreimels or Boyar Hats.
The Shtreimel or Boyar Hat that many Ultra-Religious Western European Orthodox Jews wear is a result of their ancestors having lived in Russia and Poland, it is not a "Jewish" custom. These Jews wear such hats in recognition that wearing such hats is indicative of higher status and more formal dress (the same way that a number of Western European Jews wear Top Hats). However, many Russians and Poles no longer wear the Boyar Hat since it is out of fashion (in much the same way that few Western Europeas wear Top Hats anymore).
Are Jewish women allowed to wear a kippah?
According to Jewish tradition, they should, yes. Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. This practice is twice mentioned emphatically in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice, not something new.
The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulkah," is a contraction of the Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King.
Note that Jewish married women traditionally cover their hair (Talmud, Ketubot 72b). This is for the purpose of modesty - only her husband should see her beauty - since the hair is considered beautiful (Talmud, Berakhot 24a).
It should be noted that a large percentage of the Jewish community is either non-religious or lives in countries where wearing obvious markers of Judaism (such as a kippah) invite ridicule or danger. As a result, these segments of the Jewish population, the non-religious and the threatened, do not wear kippahs. For those who are able to wear a hat, it serves the same purpose as a kippah.

The kippah (also known as a skull-cap or yarmulka) is worn by men of any Jewish denomination.
Orthodox men wear the kippah all the time. Non-orthdox men (and some non-orthodox women), usually wear it only in a synagogue or at home during Jewish events.
Some Reform Jews wear a kippah all the time.
