I'm not very good at awk, but why don't you save the previous line:

BEGIN
{
        previousline=""
}
{
        if $previousline ~ /<property name="caption">/! {
                /<string>/ {
                        ...
                }
        }
        previousline=$line
}

In fact, do you even need to use the pattern matching operator ~ ? Would a 
simple
        if $previousline != "<property name=\"caption\">" {
work?
