Nope. Catholics get married in other churches all the time. All a Catholic needs is a special blessing or permission from his or her pastor to marry in another church. Even if the Catholic did not receive the permission, and thus commits a pretty serious sin, the sin can be forgiven. Either way, the marriage is still raised to the supernatural level if both spouses are baptized Christians. Sin doesn't stop God's will from being done, ever. In fact, God tends to work with it as best He can.

Do Protestants believe it is a sin for Catholics to entertain a non Catholic suitor?

Not at all. If you are a Catholic and have begun a relationship with a non-Catholic that is perfectly acceptable. The only difficulty might be if you marry ad have children. Roman Catholics are rather exclusive, meaning that any children from a marriage of a non-Catholic to a Catholic should be brought up as Catholics. However, to most Christians this is unacceptable, and as long as the children are brought up understanding Christian principles, this is the important thing rather than to what Christian denomination they belong. However just seeing someone who is not a Catholic is certainly not 'sinful' in the eyes of God, despite what some, more fundamental, Catholics might say.

Why did the Catholics want Mary because she was Catholic or because she was next to line in the throne?

I should imagine that they wanted her both because she was Catholic and because she was in line for the throne. But remember that Henry VIII's divorce was never approved of by the Church, so Henry's other two children: Elizabeth and Edward were both technically illegitimate, which was probably the reason that Elizabeth I never gave the Catholics any quarter, as they could not rightfully think of her as a legitimate queen.
