Yes, the Catholic Church recognizes a baptism performed by anybody (even, in emergencies, a non-Christian), provided that it was done with water that runs on the forehead, that the baptism is in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that the intention of the person baptizing was in fact to baptize. UCC baptisms meet these standards, as do those of almost all Christian denominations, with the exception of those which baptize "in the Spirit only" or "in Jesus's name".

Who made up the Catholic Religion?
The Catholic Church consists of all Christ's baptized who remain faithful. The saints in heaven are referred to as the Church Triumphant, those in purgatory are referred to as the Church Suffering, and those on earth are referred to as the Church Militant (or sometimes the Pilgrim Church). The Church has always believed in three types of Baptism, one of which, Baptism of Water, is the norm, while Baptism of Blood and Baptism of Desire may also bring people into the Church at the moment of death (See the Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1257-1261). Baptism of Blood applies to those who died for the faith before being able to receive Baptism of Water. Baptism of Desire applies to those who would have desired Baptism had they known the Gospel. Those who do not remain faithful may be cut off from the Church through sin, which is known as excommunication, which may occur automatically or by judgment from the bishops of the Church. The purpose of excommunication is to make clear how grave some sins are so that those persons will return to the Church.

If I have my child baptized in an Episcopal Church will the Catholic Church recognize this Will she be able to make her first communion when the time comes?
Yes, the Roman Catholic Church recognizes the baptism of the Episcopal Church and most any other Christian Church that performs a baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity, e.g., "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." The Pastor of your Catholic Church will request the Baptism Card or Certificate signed by the priest of your Episcopal Church, when your family is 'received' into the Catholic Church and/or prior to signing off on the child's the First Communion. As a side-note the Catholic Church recognizes that any person may perform the Baptism of a child in cases of necessity, even by a non-baptized person, with the required intention, by using the Trinitarian baptismal formula as stated above. The intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes. [Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1256]
Can a confirmed Episcopalian convert to the Catholic Church without having to be confirmed again?
Yes.

When is a child Catholic?
A child is Catholic from the moment of their baptism. This applies to any valid baptism, done with water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Therefore a person does not have to belong to the "Roman Catholic Church" to be Catholic, as long as they have a valid baptism. Baptism is the 1st Sacrament of Initiation that washes away the original sin inherited from Adam and Eve, and also "rebirths" the child/person into the new family of Christ (the Church) which is the Body of Christ.
