I'm not sure why you want to integrate functions of x with respect to theta, but it's easily done symbolically:
Integrate[x*Sin[x]*{1, 2}, {theta, -Pi, Pi}]
{2*Pi*x*Sin[x], 4*Pi*x*Sin[x]}
The same thing with NIntegrate doesn't work because NIntegrate needs an integrand that resolves to NUMBERS.
If we change theta to x, these work:
Integrate[x*Sin[x]*{1, 2}, {x, -Pi, Pi}]
NIntegrate[x*Sin[x]*{1, 2}//Evaluate, {x, -Pi, Pi}]
but this doesn't:
NIntegrate[x*Sin[x]*{1, 2}, {x, -Pi, Pi}]
