For the armies of Northern Wei and Former Qin, did they use any heavy artillery like catapults in their armies or Greek fire in their navies?

Catapults/trebuchets, yes - both in the armies and on warships. Greek Fire, not yet - as far as we can tell, it was only introduced from the Byzantine Empire in the 9th or 10th century.
