Not inappropriate. Better than wasting your time going through an interview for a job you won't accept due to low pay.

Depends on what you're looking for, but I usually say something along the lines of "I'm not really looking to move, but if I did it would be for an increase in pay, is that on the table here?". Or you can say you're not going to take a pay cut, etc.
