No.

Seahorses are fish, not mammals. Although the male seahorse has a brood pouch for carrying the eggs, this feature alone does not make the seahorse a marsupial.

No, definitely not. To be a marsupial, it would first have to be a vertebrate and a mammal.

No, Marsupials are an infraclass of mammals, characterized by a distinctive pouch (called the marsupium), in which females carry their young through early infancy.
