Spanish Armada to re-impose Protestantism upon England?

Do you mean 're-impose Catholicism'? At the time of the Armada, Spain was a Catholic country and England - under Elizabeth I - was a Protestant country. However, the Armada was more about temporal power than spiritual.... it was aprt of European power-politics at the time, and about controlling the Atlantic Ocean (across which the Spanish were transporting the wealth they were stealing from the Americas). Change of religion would have been an added bonus, but wasn't the aim of the Armada.

Did the defeat of the Spanish armada affect English colonization?

The Spanish Armada was a failure and as such did not cause any real change in England. Not one ship landed on the shores of Britain. For the Spanish it left them with a depleted navy. Some ships were wrecked along the coast of Ireland whilst the fleet tried to round the British Isles on the way back to Spain. Some of these Spaniards settled in Ireland and their decedents are known as the black Irish.
