If you really are interested start with Mexican history from shortly before the Mexican revolution up until the year 2000. Once you’re done with that the next steps should be clear.

Yes. The most important figures in chronological order would be: Porfirio Díaz, Francisco I. Madero, Álvaro Obregón, Plutarco E. Calles and Lázaro Cárdenas. These are the presidents that made Mexico what it is today.

Historically, they might be just as important, but from a political standpoint, it is important to to have a general idea of the most influential (mainstream) historical processes before diving into the political and social importance of Zapata and Villa. Another way of putting it would be that it is important to see the whole picture (or from afar) before focusing on a particular aspect of it (the agrarian/peasant movement), otherwise you might get lost in the details.
