A:
It sounds natural but I would add "simply"
They think Hamlet is simply seducing Ophelia rather than going to marry her.
To make it plain that the seduction is not with a view to a marital relationship.
Also I am not sure why but I prefer "intending to" to "going to."
They think Hamlet is simply seducing Ophelia rather than intending to marry her.
I guess it is because seducing and intending form a pair -- Hamlet's actions -- whereas going is just part of the future tense and does not imply an action on Hamlets part so it does not quite form a pair with, or replace "seducing."
