How did the Geneva accords change Vietnam?
In 1956, it divided Vietnam at the 17th parallel into North and South Vietnam. They remained that way until the South Vietnam government surrendered to North Vietnam forces in April, 1975.
Temporarily divided Vietnam along the 17th parallel?
No man's land, the "Z" (DMZ=Demilitarized Zone). Korea's "Z" (DMZ) at the 38th parallel still exists, separating Communist North Korea from the republic of South Korea.
Who decided to divide Vietnam?
That was quite complicated. After French troops were defeated in the battle of Dien Bien Phu in May 7, 1954, the Geneva Conference (which had been held before) came to an agreement known as the Geneva Accords. In this this set of treaties, France and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam both agreed to withdraw their troops to different parts of the country (Vietnamese forces to the North, and French troops to the South). After that, French army would retreat completely from Vietnam and two regions would unify in an election. However, U.S. government later refused to follow that schedule because they had never signed the Accords. They set up a pro-America government with Ngo Dinh Diem as president in South Vietnam while communists still controlled the North. To conclude, it was France, America and, ironically, Vietnam (didn't know what it was doing) who divided Vietnam.

Who broke the Geneva accords by not allowing free elections in south Vietnam?
Supposed free elections were held in South Vietnam for South Vietnamese candidates only. However, an election for the unification of Vietnam was refused by the then South Vietnamese government due to the fact that the Communist regime of the North would not allow an International Committee to supervise the ballot. Therefore, the North refused scrutiny of their so called free elections. It is interesting to note that there is a substantial amount of evidence that suggests that the South Vietnamese elections were rigged and the count doctored. Further to this, the North Vietnamese held an election in 1960 where constituents had only one party to choose from, the VFF. Hardly a free election. Unsurprisingly, they won all seats.

What sparked North Vietnam to assault South Vietnam during the Vietnam Conflict era?
There was probably no spark. It was Ho Chi Minh's plan to unite the two countries from the beginning. Infiltration from the north into the south began almost immediately in the 1950's. I think you could rightfully call the Geneva Accords the "spark". It was the Geneva Accords in 1954 that divided Vietnam into two separate countries with promises to hold general elections to unify it. However, when those elections were not held, the Viet Minh, rulers of the north, decided to unite the country by force.
What did the US do in response of the Geneva Accords?
It ceased to provide military and logistic support to South Vietnam as required for both sides. North Vietnam, although bound by the same conditions, continued to build up military capacity, and invaded in full strength against a South Vietnam with no source of reinforcement or ammunition replenishment.
