Answer 1

You would be understood. There may be a few words that have different meanings and some of the slang would be very different, but you wouldn't really have a problem (unless you have a really heavy accent, then you might have problems, but that's the same as a person from Scotland going to America ).

Answer 2

That depends on which native language of Mexico you speak. For Spanish, there would be no problem, but for other languages like Nahuatl or Zapotec, it might be a bit tough.

Answer 3

unless you have a really heavy accent,

Not really jenny, I cannot imagine not understanding a Mexican, even with a heavy accent.

Some words are a problem, but not the accent.
