If you mean 'Catholic' with a large 'C' - this usually refers to the Roman Catholic Church and, though the Protestant Church is part of the catholic (universal) church, it is not part of the Catholic (Roman Cattholic) church as this is a separate denomination.

Can Catholic church legally investigate non Catholics in the annulment process?

The Catholic Church only investigates Church annulments, and, in the course of such investigation, does ask for testimonies from non-Catholics. But for the most part, the Church has no legal jurisdiction in most countries in the world in 2013. She must investigate if, for instance, a non-Catholic asks for an annulment for a previous marriage, if the non-Catholic is seeking an annulment from the Catholic Church, say, in order to marry a Catholic. Such investigation is carried on at the request of the non-Catholic, the particular legal status of such an investigation would be dependent on the country in which it was being carried out.
