If a u.s. tourist visited Canada strictly on a tourist visa and then returned back home but one day like 10 or 15 years later married a Canadian citizen and wanted to apply for PR status, would their previous visit to Canada many, many years earlier arouse suspicion to an immigration officer or not? Can someone give me their opinion?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by suspicions. What suspicions?

Would the immigration officer somehow view their previous record that they visited canada like 15 years earlier? If so, would this affect their pr application because they wanted to marry a canadian??

Yes, the officer would be able to see their previous record.

I don't understand your other question.

Will the immigration officer go over the person coming from the u.s. personal finance or would it be someone else?
why would a CBSA officier go through a visitor's personal finance?
Regarding to what you've described, you will be sponsored by your Canadian spouse. Your spouse needs to provide proof that he/she can support you financially. So he/she will need to give IRCC some financial information.
