pygame.draw.rect(screen, Color("red"), (Mouse, (100, 100)), 1)

will work. The rect argument must be either 4 numbers, or 2 sequences
giving 2 numbers each, i.e. (x,y,w,h) or ((x,y), (w,h)). Mouse is a 2
item sequence.

I also imagine you want it centred so you will also need to change:
Mouse = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
Mouse = (Mouse[0] - 50, Mouse[1] - 50)

That code only draws a rectangle, it does not do any kind of collision
detection, this will not tell you (or the program) if the mouse is over
a sprite. If you want to actually check collision in your code, you need
something like:

m = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
for s in sprites:
    if s.rect.collidepoint(m):
        print "Colliding with", s
