How can I fly from state to state with just a foreign passport?

Most people are fine. I do not recommend it however. That is because there are instances when the TSA agent asks, even if they are not supposed to. I have actually seen that happen first hand. So at the very least have the I-130 receipt to show you applied for that. If you have the I-485 receipt (filing for GC in the US) then that is very good to bring. If you are going to have to file abroad, then that may not be enough.

The only issue I could see with marrying now and applying later would be that he could have a problem any time he attempts to enter the US as a visitor to visit you, because he is coming over to the US to visit his spouse and they may think there is a preconceived intent to remain in the US to adjust status versus doing it through the consulate, which takes longer. Other than that, there is no problem. If you are a citizen, the process for you to petition him should be quick. Quicker if it is done in the US.

Where you get married does not matter. The ten year bar that he will trigger when he leaves affects him whether your get married here or in Mexico. Unless your fiance last entered the U.S. with inspection or was paroled into the US, or is protected under 245(i) he will have to consular process outside the U.S. Once he departs the US he will need to file a waiver to return if has more than one year of unlawful presence. Such waivers are not easy to get approved so you should consult with an attorney before deciding to have your fiance leave.
