It was NOT James Watt that invented the high-pressure steam engine. James Watt made very useful improvements to Newcomen's low-pressure steam engine, while several people experimented in the following years with high-pressure steam. It was Richard Trevithick, however, who invented the first proven, high-pressure steam engine, particularly in his Pen-y-Darren locomotive.

He didn't. The steam engine was invented by James Watt in 1712. Trevithick developed an improved high pressure steam engine in 1800. He then invented the steam locomotive in 1803 and actually built a passenger railway in London in 1812. Thomas Newcomen gave his name to atmospheric steam engines, which he invented. The first was installed in 1712 close to Dudley Castle in the Black Country. He had to share his success with Thomas Savery, who had previously taken out a general patent covering all the possible means of pumping water by ateam power.

Is the expansion of superheated steam isothermal?

Expansion of steam in either the saturated or superheated state is generally not isothermal. When steam expands from a high pressure to a lower pressure the temperature will be reduced, unless energy is added during the process. When steam expands in an engine such as a steam turbine, the temperature reduction is greater than during free expansion
