Would you pronounce Katarina and Katharina the same? I know according the BtN they are pronounced the same, but I wonder what a typical person in the US would say?

I'd pronounce them the same.

I personally would say them the same, but then again, I'm a BtNer. I think most people in the US would say kath- at first glance, rather than kat-. You could always just use Katarina instead, since it's German as well.
