In most Western countries, a person who is licensed to perform marriages only requires a specified number of witnesses present for the marriage to be vaid in law. This generally includes Christian clergy, including Catholic priests, as well as clergy of other religions and marriage celebrants. The authorised person completes the papers and forwards a copy to the registry office.

No, a Catholic priest cannot perform a marriage without a registrar present. In most countries, the presence of a registrar or marriage officer is required by law to legally register the marriage. The priest can perform the religious ceremony, but the marriage also needs to be registered with the appropriate authorities.

The priest does not have to be present. The marriage must be in church, it cannot be outside the church in a garden or country club, unless the non-catholic party is Jewish or Muslim (out of respect) and again agrees to the children being brought up as Catholic If two catholics are married by a Justice of the Peace outside of church they can have their marriage recognized by the Catholic Church,as long as this was first marriage for both.
Does the Catholic church recognize my marriage if I was married to a non Catholic in a non Catholic church when the marriage was witnessed by a deacon?
This is something you need to talk to your parish priest about. The Catholic Church is not obliged to recognise any marriage except those at which its own priests officiate. But because of the special circumstances of the Sacrament of Marriage (the Sacrament is conferred on each spouse by the other; the priest is present only as a sanctioned witness) there are many circumstances where a marriage may be considered valid (providing consummation has occurred) even though the Catholic ritual was not observed. The presence of a Deacon is irrelevant, as is the non-consecrated premises where your marriage took place. Whether or not the marriage is valid depends on you and your spouse alone. But it is a ticklish point in theology:- talk to a priest.

The Episcopal priest is able to perform all the Sacraments of the Episcopal Church with the same authority as a Catholic priest for THEIR own sacraments.
