didn't Catt marry the sister of AW's secretary?

Not quite. He married the sister-in-law of AW's secretary (i.e. Hainchelin and Catt married sisters), who, btw, was also Hainchelin's cousin. Because family marriage is not just for royals!

Diderot is one of those Enlightenment figures who shows up in everyone's biographies; I've read one his essays, but definitely not what he's most famous for, the dictionary.
