A grandfather clause is a provision when an old rule continues to apply to some existing situations while the new rule will apply to all future cases. Those exempt from the new rule are said to have grandfather rights or acquired rights. Slaves were the target because the old rule found they weren't citizens and couldn't vote, so it was applied to a new law.

Ban slavery in any territory acquired from Mexico in the Mexican War or in the future, and possibly disputed lands in south Texas and New Mexico.
It would really depend on how Mexico acquired such land. If Mexico had won the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848) it would have kept present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas. Some historians think Mexico would be a regional power, but not a superpower such as the United States; maybe something like Canada is today or Brazil within a few decades. If you mean what if these lands revert to Mexico in the near future, maybe it would become the second or third largest economy in the world, after China and possibly the remaining United States; but again, most probably Mexico would be a regional power as historically speaking, it hasn't waged any wars of aggression.
It allowed the United States to acquire all present-day states of California, Nevada, Utah and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico and Kansas. It also increased the "Slave territory" holdings of the United States, thus planting seeds for the future American Civil War (1861-1865).
As it is today, it was similar to 1846. There was a border dispute with the Mexicans under Santa Ana. A war developed and ended when US troops captured Mexico City. The war ended in 1848. As part of the peace treaty today's US states of California, New Mexico and Arizona were now given to the US. The Texas Rio Grand border was also clearly defined. The US gave Mexico $5 million for their trouble.
Polk's goal was simple. He wanted a country which stretched from sea to shining sea. By supporting Texas, a future conflict with Mexico was assured, and the US could then acquire Mexican territory between the US and the Pacific Ocean.
