What time is it in Florida from Mexico?
Florida's Tampa Bay and Sarasota are on U.S. Eastern Time. Mexico City is one to two hours behind Florida depending on the season, so live tours fit a normal working day.

Generally yes — with cash or a foreign-national mortgage. Florida's SB 264 restricts some purchases connected to certain foreign countries of concern; if you're unsure whether it applies, ask a Florida real estate attorney before making an offer.
Yes. Prices on Bridges Global are in U.S. dollars; you can show an approximate conversion next to them using the European Central Bank's published reference rates, dated. The U.S. dollar price is always the actual price.
