Caster sugar's closest American equivalent is superfine granulated sugar, which can be hard to find; it is also known as bar sugar, as it is used to mix cocktails. It is sold in 1 pound boxes under the Domino brand. You can make it by running regular granulated sugar for several seconds in the food processor with the metal blade; this grinds the sugar to a finer consistency (superfine).
