So if Castile and Portugal conquers Granada will Aragon take action against them? Or is the damage too much in preventing two catholic nations from completing the goal of making a entire catholic spain?

The question is whether they're able to do that if Aragon contributes to Granada's defenses.
 
Woulndt the rest of christendom be angry with Aragon for obstructing? A christian nation preventing other nations of doing their holy duty.

I'm not sure. By that time, we had the preceden of Venice scheming with the Ottomans, promising the crusaders to send a fleet and then letting them run into the knife. We had Genoa supporting the Ottoman onslaught on Constantinople. Aragon contracting a few italian mercs or sending guys who know about up-to-date gunnery would be a bit more, but still, it's the age of centralising monarchies who care less about such things.
 
A different outcome of the Italian wars? Perhaps Charles VIII getting killed in 1488? Now that's a different ballgame
To be honest it might be the best way to keep Brittany independent. But then again there is Louis XII....
Assuming the Duke of Berry still dies in 1472 (if we're going with a Lorraine match for Mary of Burgundy). And you are right that the French crown's determination to centralize the kingdom should not be underestimated, even with England getting in their business more. Louis XII is more likely than not to still marry Joan of France, and even without the prospect of replacing her with Anne of Brittany, somehow I don't think it will go much better than OTL.
 
Louis of Orleans was married to Joan by force, not consent if I recall. Depends it he gets the anullment or not, if there is a different pope than Borgia then perhaps he'll have to stay married to her.
