Would the Catholic Church allow a Catholic woman to marry a Muslim man?
A mixed marriage is a marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic. Disparity of Cult is a marriage between a Catholic and a non-baptized person. The later case is a diriment impediment to marriage, which may only be overcome with special permission from the Bishop. However, it is *never* recommended due to the problems involved in the marriage, the danger to the Catholic's faith, and the determent to the children from that marriage.
Can a divorced Catholic man marry to a Catholic convert woman in the Catholic church?
The answer depends upon whether the Catholic man's first marriage was canonically valid, and, if so, whether he has been granted an annulment. The marriage of a Catholic in a civil ceremony, for example, is not canonically valid in the eyes of the Church. In most cases, such a marriage would not require an annulment for a second marriage in the Church to take place. If, however, the first marriage was valid in the eyes of the Church, as for example, a Catholic wedding, then it will be necessary for the man's first marriage to be annuled before he can validly contract a second Catholic marriage.

Can a Catholic priest bless a marriage after an Episcopal ceremony?
If the marriage was done by Episcopal minister and not in the presence of a Catholic priest, or without approval of the Catholic Church, then, no, it cannot be blessed as the Catholic Church recognizes the episcopal marriage as valid.Catholic AnswerIf either of the parties involved in the Episcopal marriage ceremony were Catholic, then they are not married until such time as they get married before a priest in a Catholic Church as Canon Law requires that the marriage of a baptized (or converted) Catholic be before a priest or deacon. So it is not a question of a priest "blessing" a marriage (although this is a common term for a marriage in a Catholic Church following a civil marriage or any other religion) but of actually performing the wedding. They would have to apply to their priest and go through the normal preparation for marriage, including permission to marry a non-Catholic; and, of course, they would have to be in a state of grace; which would mean that the Catholic party would have to repent of the attempted marriage outside the Church in confession and be forgiven. Also, they should live as brother and sister until such time as the marriage is performed by a priest. They would need to speak to a priest right away.
