I will be returning to Houston IAH this month from an international flight and will be connecting domestically on United. The international flight arrives at 2.30pm and the connecting United is at 4.30 pm.
So, is 2 hrs enough at IAH airport to clear customs and then board a domestic flight ?

Not necessarily a good assumption. Last time I did an international arrival at IAH (from Bonaire), there were the same number of agents handling the US citizen line as the non-citizen line, and the ratio of people in the lines was about 3 to 1. The citizen line was taking a lot longer.
That's when we decided to get GE cards...

1. For a US citizen , typically how long does it take to get the card after applying ?
2. Does it really help to clear immigration/customs much faster ?
Thanks !

Do a forum search on "Global Entry". There are several discussions on how long the processing takes. I think it's generally under 30 days, depending on the background check, and how long a wait for the interview at your preferred office.
Yes, can be much faster, especially if there's already a line when you get to immigration.

On my trip through America later this year I am going from Miami to Cancun, Mexico for a week and then coming back to the US to go to San Francisco. My gets into IAH at 4:11pm and my connector is at 5:45pm. Do I clear customs in Mexico or at IAH and will I have enough time to make my connector?
Thanks.
Thanks.

You will clear in Term E, and flights to SFO leave either Term E or C which are connected, so you should be OK.

International connect time in Houston
One of our options for flying to Paris is United thru SFO and connecting in IAH to Paris. The connection time is 50 minutes. Should this be enough time? I assume there's a terminal change involved.
Our other option which is an afternoon flight would be SFO to Frankfurt and then on into Paris with better connection times, but it doesn't arrive at CDG until 1800 vs 0830 on the Houston connection.

The flight to Paris will leave from E.
Wherever the SFO flight lands it is walkable. It you get the far end of C to the far end of E that could be 20-30 minutes of walking worse case senario but you should make it. You wont be one of the first to board the flight to Paris but you should make the flight. Your amount of spare time will depend on where the SFO flight arrives. If it arrives in E you could be very close to your gate.

FlyingHoustonian sums it up. IF there are no delays departing SFO you will be fine.
BTW, there's a whole thread on IAH connections in either UA consolidated forum or CO subforum.
