If your return MNL-TYO (HND?NRT) -MEX reservation is on separate ticket, then return flights will not be cancelled if you skip NRT-BKK segment. If your entire round trip is on one ticket, then yes your return portion will be cancelled if you skip NRT-BKK segment.
You are not the only person who got a flight cancelled out of NRT due to Typhoon no. 19. There are thousands of people who got their flight cancelled, there will be back log of those people trying to fly out NRT or HND as soon as flights resume. If you reached NRT and grabbed your bags, what make you think you will able to grab a seat on any flight to BKK in next a day or two? If you try stand by, then do you think you will be put on top of the stand by list, where likely there will be literally hundred of people on standby list from cancelled flight of previous days due to Typhoon no. 19.? People who paid expensive full fare, people with elite level of frequent flyer status will likely be ahead of you on stand by list.
If you try to get on non-ANA flight out of NRT to BKK then likely you have to pay expensive last minute fare, if there is any seats available...
