No. Marriage is never grounds for acquiring US citizenship.

Normally, it would speed up the process of becoming a legal permanent resident (that is, getting a visa or "green card"), because CR1/IR1 visas (CR1 is for married less than 2 years, IR1 is for married longer than that) are among the top priority for visas.. And then you'd have to wait three years to apply for naturalization as a US citizen- normally it's five years, but this is lowered if you're married to a citizen.

However the case you ask is unusual because the US citizen spouse is only 16. Normally a US citizen must be at least 18 years old to file a petition for a visa. I'm not sure if a 16 year old would be allowed to do so, even in a case of marriage.

No. You would have to come to the US on a K1 visa which gives you 90 days to marry. To come on the visa there needs to be a sponsor to prove that you have a means to live and a place to live. You can not work until a green card is issued. The forms you need also have to be filled out by and your sponsor. There is an interview with the American embassy is conducted before you leave your home country. What you suggest is illegal and your sponsor could receive prison time. Even after the marriage the Immigration service conducts interviews to make sure you are in a real marriage and just not a fraud. It is also illegal for a 16 year old to marry without parents permission so even if all the above wasn't true the marriage still might not be valid.
