No, it is in strict Iambic Pentametor.
Romeo is a protagonist because he is the first of the main characters to appear onstage. (Juliet does not show up until the middle of Act 1). It isn't very useful to call Romeo a protagonist - it doesn't tell you anything about him or the play. But some people like big words.
The first two acts of Romeo and Juliet have a Prologue. The Prologue is not quite the same as a narrator, although it is someone who is a commentator on the action as opposed to an actor in it. But while a narrator tells (narrates) a story, a prologue (which comes from the Greek words meaning fore-word, or word before) sets the scene for the story before it is acted out. Prologue is not the person's name, of course. It is not a name at all, but a job description. When you call someone the janitor, it doesn't mean his name is Mr. Janitor.
There isn't any free verse in Romeo and Juliet--not in Shakespeare's in any case. Perhaps you are thinking of blank verse. There is lots of that. An example is the first line, "Two households both alike in dignity."
Romeo is the first of the two to speak.
Romeo.
The Prologue is the first to speak: "Two households, both alike in dignity..." If you mean which of the characters, Romeo or Juliet speaks first, it is Romeo in Act I scene 1. Juliet does not appear until Act I scene 3
The first four lines of the prologue rhyme the words "dignity", "scene", "mutiny" and "unclean".
Romeo and then Juliet...
