q1: Surely walking from one country to another needs paperwork of some kind?

q2: And even then, don't they check passport for port of entry? Like how and when did you get to mexico if you want to leave it?

Mexico doesn't check anything. Years ago I walked into Mexico. 2019 I rode a motorcycle into Mexico, so you could argue they had my plates, but they didn't know who was under the helmet, and definitely didn't know which 5' passenger I had as a passenger also wearing a helmet, even though you could argue she's possibly the size of a child even (she was just a small 23 year old)
1. Nope. Technically you are supposed to show id if you want to go further into Mexico than about 40km? The army has checkpoints.

2. Nope to enter mexico by foot in certain border tourist cities, of course USA cbp/ice requires full id for anyone coming back.
