No, the woman in question would have to convert to Judaism in order for her to be married to him. Conservative and Orthodox rabbis are not permitted by Jewish law to perform interfaith marriages. However, some Reform rabbis will officiate at the wedding of a Jew to a non-Jew despite the Torah's prohibition, particularly if the couple plans to have a Jewish home and to raise any children they may have as Jews.
Note:
Intermarriage is gradually causing the disappearance of broad segments of the Jewish people.
In addition to the Torah's prohibition against intermarriage, there are very many cases in which the spouses use the religious difference as fuel to add to the flames once they're already fighting over other matters. Maintaining a marriage is hard enough without the interfering factor of different religious backgrounds.
Also, there is the question of how to raise the children. A seemingly kumbaya-type peace-loving interfaith education very often turns out to be confusing to the children, who now have no complete identity. Statistics show that mixed-marriage children are less likely to practice any religion at all, than are their single-faith peers (even those of minimally-religious homes).
In actual practice, intermarriage amounts to assimilation, the product of which is descendants who may no longer see themselves as part of the religious heritage of either parent.
A Jewish couple who want to marry each other can have the ceremony held in a synagogue if they so desire. Or in an office, in one of their homes, in a hospital room or a park. Any place where the appropriate decorum, people and procedures can be organized, and if they care, any place to which they can convince their parents and friends to agree.
Orthodox Jews represent the most observant of the Jewish communities and therefore Orthodox rabbis will not marry a Jew to a non-Jew as this is forbidden by halacha (Jewish law).

The Conservative movement is somewhat similar to the Orthodox, and they too will not perform this type of ceremony.
While Reform Rabbis will not marry any Jewish-Gentile couple, personal counsel and discussion of family and the role Judaism in both your lives would certainly make their participation somewhat likely in a marriage ceremony, since some would listen on a case to case basis.
The question is slightly ambiguous. It could be asking either one of two questions.
Here are short answers to both questions:
1). A rabbi who is married can divorce his spouse, by means of the same identical procedures as any other Jew.
2). A Jewish married couple who wish to divorce may consult a rabbi for guidance on the proper procedure to obtain a religious divorce under Jewish law. But the rabbi doesn't 'grant' the divorce. Technically, in Jewish law, the couple themselves perform the divorce, just as the couple themselves perform the wedding and create the marriage.
Absolutely! In truth, as Judaism teaches that a man is incomplete if he is not married, it's virtually a requirement for rabbis to marry to perform their duties.
Yes. Rabbis were expected to marry and have children.
Yes. It is encouraged. A rabbi is considered in many ways to be unable to completely fulfill the responsibilities of his job if he is NOT married.
Yes!
