Does the annulment of previous marriage make the subsequent marriage valid?
No. Once someone has a marriage annulled in civil court the parties are free from each other and any subsequent marriage is valid as long as the subsequent marriage took place afterthe first marriage was annulled.A marriage that was entered while one of the parties was still married (which would be the case prior to an annulment) is null and void. A subsequent annulment of that first marriage would not "cure" the second one. The parties must arrange to get married legally.

Is it a mortal sin to get remarried without an annulment?
A Catholic is not free to marry more than one person. The annulment process is simply that: a process which must be investigated to its final verdict on whether or not a previous marriage existed or not. During the time this is being investigated, the Catholic is still to be considered 'married' and thus not eligible to date others, marry someone else, or have marital relations. If the marriage is found to be in tact, it can not be broken by any man or institution here in this world. Only God can dissolve the bond, at death. As it is written: "For what God has joined, no man may separate." (Mark 10:9) To violate the marriage covenant is a very serious (mortal) sin. The Church can not be more clear on this: any Catholic that violates this sacred bond of marriage is indeed committing adultery and anyone associating themselves with a married Catholic is also committing adultery. The Church also goes on to say that marriage is not just a supernatural grace that comes from receiving the sacrament but a natural institution as well. That is, before Jesus' time here in this world, marriage was (and still is) an institution between a man and a woman governed by natural law. This is why the seventh commandment states, "You shall not commit adultery" because it isn't just something that Christians believe. Instead, when it comes down to it, all rational thinking humans deep down really understand marriage as important and adultery as wrong.

Can a marriage be annulled for religious reasons?
That depends entirely on what you are asking, how you are defining your terms. An annulment in the Catholic Church is granted for a defect in the original marriage - or before. Such an annulment is just a decree that no valid marriage actually happened. But such an annulment has no weight in most civil governments, and the reasons may or may not be religious. However, if you are asking if a marriage can be annulled, for instance, because one spouse becomes a Christian, then, yes, this is called the Pauline privilege where the marriage is dissolved not annulled. The Petrine privilege is where a valid but non-sacramental marriage is dissolved not annulled in the favor of the faith if one person becomes Catholic and wishes to be baptized.
