The way you suggest makes sense because that way you get rid of a lot of characters so you can be done with the actors as well. If they end the season like that, they can be done with Robb, Catelyn, various members of their entourage, Joffrey, and so on, and move on with new emphasis on other characters for subsequent seasons (all this of course presumes more seasons).
They will still need Catelyn, she gets ressurected at the end of book 3 and comes back as Lady Stoneheart

Yes. Cancellation aside, it is almost impossible for GRRM to finish the books first.

What's stopping them from taking a break of a season, or even two if they have to? *NM*

Is season 2 good? Season 1 was frightfully boring with very poor filming quality.
