Since you are confirmed Orthodox and married a Greek Orthodox, the Orthodox Church requires that any children you may have should be baptized Orthodox. Also, as an Orthodox, you are not allowed to baptize your nephew or any other person in a catholic church.

If he is to be reared Catholic, either by his parents or godparents, the Church will receive him. No you are GREEK orthodox u must not I reapeat not baptisma your child at a catholic church.

The word baptize comes from the Greek word 'baptizma' which means to immerse and completely cover in water. Sprinkling with water is called 'aspersion', but it is not the same as a baptism. An Orthodox baptism is recognized by all Catholics, but Catholic baptisms are not recognized by all Orthodox, because Catholic baptisms are actually done by aspersion or sprinkling, rather than by full immersion (which is what the Greek word 'baptize' means) and baptism has been the tradition of the Orthodox Church for the last 2,000 years.
No, the Greek Orthodox church is a part of the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
Orthodox Christians baptize babies because they want their children to have the Holy Spirit in them as soon as possible.
