Yes, in that they both originated with the Catholic Church, went into schism, while retaining valid Orders and valid sacraments: to that extent they are alike, although the American Catholic Church, which is derived from the Old Catholic Church, a schismatic group that went into schism after the First Vatican Council, is not in communion with the Catholic Church nor the Orthodox Church. The American Catholic Church is in communion with the Anglican Church meaning, when all is said and done, they are yet another protestant church, while the Russian Orthodox remains Catholic to a degree.
