No a priest cannot repeat anything told him as part of a confession. But Confession and Reconciliation happen after the sin is committed, not before. So he cannot stop murder or any acts of terrorism. The Code of Canon Law states: The sacramental seal is inviolable; therefore it is absolutely forbidden for a confessor to betray in any way a penitent in words or in any manner and for any reason. Violation of the seal of confession results in immediate excommunication of the priest. Priests may discuss things in general terms. For more information, see the Code of Canon Law: http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__P3G.HTM

What would a priest say to a person who comes into the Confessional and tells him he is not a Roman Catholic?

First, there really isn't any way that the priest would know if you are or arent a catholic...its not something that they ask and if you do feel the need to tell the priest they would prolly ask you why you have chosen to come to confession and then go on like he would with anyone else. He asks what sins you have committed and forgives you for them...its not like he's going to kick you out of the confessional or anything.
