By RC reasoning (that Jesus had to have some help in coming from a sinless mother), either all of Mary's ancestors had to be sinless, or Mary is greater than Jesus. Well, how does "the grandmother of God" sound? And in Mormonic doctrine i think they talk about a heavenly mother.

Actually, we do refer to "Anne" as the grandmother of God sometimes.
But remember that the Marian dogmata, in our view, arise from Christological teachings. It is through God in IHS that Mary receives all the graces we claim she has. (And therefore, Anne too. It's not her excellence that makes her God's grandmother. It is IHS's gift.)
