It depends on what is meant by intervention. We did send troops into Mexico after Mexico raided a town in New Mexico. We had been involved with Mexico forever (at least since the Mexican-American War in the 1840s). Wilson supported various contenders for political power in Mexico. His motives for most diplomatic efforts were as you say, his concept of "moral diplomacy".

Your answer for #2 is spot on! Very good.
Should I change my answer for #1, then?
Maybe just explain a little further for #1.
yes, I would add to it if I were you. You're not wrong, but there was more to it. Look up Pancho Villa and the Mexican raid on Columbus (Columbia?), New Mexico.
