Proposition 8 was not retroactive. When it passed in November 2008, it prevented any new same-sex marriages, but did not nullify existing ones. In June 2013, when Proposition 8 was struck down by the US Supreme Court, same-sex marriage resumed in California and the same-sex marriages performed there before Proposition 8 continued to be legally valid for all purposes, both state and federal.

Can you be in a civil union with one person and married to another since the two types of unions are distinct?

No. In states where same-sex civil unions or marriages have been legalized, what you are describing is a crime for which you can be prosecuted (bigamy). Whichever event took place second is considered a fraudulent attempt at marriage or civil union and was never legal, not even before it was discovered. In states where same-sex civil unions or marriages have NOT been legalized, you are not in a civil union, you are only married. Your civil union is legally nullified upon crossing the state line.
