What is the main idea of the era of colonization?
There isn't one. Colonisation went through successive stages, sometimes shaped by policy, sometimes an improvised response to geopolitical conditions. At various stages it was driven by military or religious zeal, individual or collective greed, considerations of national prestige, strategic competition among the powers, notions of transplanting surplus metropolitan population, promotion or protection of national commercial interests against rivals, or misplaced doctrines of racial superiority or a "civilising mission". And sometimes it was a response to unforeseen consequences of the powers' unplanned actions. Colonisation took different forms and had no overarching ideological foundation, like much in history that on the surface seems consistent but on closer investigation falls apart as a coherent process.
Why did Mexican's plan to colonize Texas backfire?
Because the American settlers allowed by the Mexican government to colonize Texas eventually revolted and won their independence. When the US annexed Texas, such action provoked Mexico into war. When Mexico lost such war, it also lost the whole states of California, Nevada, Utah and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico and Kansas.
No, their Empire was based on expansion into eastern Europe and Asia. There were no official colonies nor any territories that were once part of the Russian Empire that consider themselves to have been former colonies (they consider themselves to have either been occupied by or incorporated into Russia proper).
However, much of their expansion into Central Asia and development of what would become the "stans" bore much resemblance to what are more openly considered colonial operations (like the British Empire and French Empire). In addition, Russian influence was very strong in the north of Persia, Sino-Mongolia, and north China.

Virtually all African countries were invaded by Europe during the 17-1900s Age of Imperialism. Egypt and South Africa are two examples of modern-day somewhat-powerful nations that were invaded by Britain in the Scramble for Africa.

Did France colonize any other country?
France colonized a large number of countries. By far, the continent with the most former French colonies is Africa, with around 15-20 independent states that were former French colonies. Some other former French colonies include: parts of Canada (Quebec, etc.), parts of the United States (Louisiana Territory, etc.), Haiti, Indochina (currently Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia), Lebanon, and Syria. France also had empires across Europe, but did not properly colonize the countries in its European empires. Additionally France still maintains overseas territories like French Guiana in South America, Guadeloupe and Martinique in North America, and Mayotte and Reunion in Africa.
No.
From 1453 to 1919, Turkey was the central region of the powerful Ottoman Empire. The Treaty of Versailles of 1919 saw the final dismantling of the Ottoman Empire, so that it only contained the areas now known as Turkey. Under the Treaty of Sevrès of 1920, Turkey was to have spheres of foreign influence (British, French, and Italian). However, Kemal Mustafa Atatürk, a rising Turkish general, was able to rouse the remnant of the Ottoman Army to overthrow first the Ottoman government that had signed the Treaty and then forcibly remove the imperialists. This resulted in the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923, making Turkey an internationally recognized independent country.
