If France had taken Mexico would the US Civil War have stopped?

No. considering they did take Mexico and the civil war did not stop.

Perhaps the confederation would have won in that hypothetical scenario.

Nothing would've changed except Mexico would be far more stable.

This however would've also changed nothing until immigration became a huge issue, then America would have an easier time keeping Mexicans out of the mainland.

They did.

No, but it would be an interesting development, since France refused to back the CSA and many Mexicans actually fought for the South.

Veracruz is hardly the whole of Mexico. Maximilian's rule was also anything but stable.
