Depends which "Ukrainian Orthodox Church" you mean. If you mean the Autonomous Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is self-ruld but under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church, the answer is "yes." If you mean the Ukrainian Orthodox parishes in the USA, Europe, and Australia which are under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople (although these are certainly NOT a "Ukrainian Orthodox Church," but simply Ukrainian Orthodox dioceses of the Patriarchate of Constantinople), the answer is "yes."
If you mean any other Ukrainian Orthodox groups-whther one of the so-called variety of "Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox" Churches IN the Ukraine (some of which also now have parishes in the USA), or any of the plethora of vagante, fly by night, non-canoncial, possibly heretical, possibly occult groups in the US that include the words "Ukrainian" and "Orthodox" iin their names, the answer is "NO."

Is the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in union with the Russian Orthodox Church?
As with many questions, it depends . . . the Russian Orthodox Church is headed by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia (the Russian Orthodox Church is often referred to as "the Moscow Patriarchate," or simply, "MP"). By "All Russia," of course, is meant all the lands that have been traditionally included in a Russian State. Ukraine has been included in Russian States for the past several hundred years. Ukraine only gained independence after the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. The Russian Orthodox Church has several hundred, if not thousands, of parishes in the Ukraine, under the designation of "The Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate." This jurisdiction is rather loose-the Ukrainian Church under the MP is considered an "Autonomous Church"-all the Bishops, as well as the Metropolitan (head of this Church) are voted on in Ukraine by Ukrainian Bishops; the MP has the "right of refusal" if a candidate is considered unworthy, but in practice, this happens very rarely. So, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church/Moscow Patriarchate, is indeed in union with the Russian Orthodox Church.
When did the Ukrainian Orthodox Church separate from the Greek Orthodox Church?
The question calls forth degrees of answer. Both the Greek (Byzantium)and Ukrainian (Kyiv) Churches claim the activity of an apostle on their territory: St. Andrew. Greece proper was also served by St. Paul. A church matures by apostoloic activity or eveangelization to produce believers, then a bishop then a group of bishops under an Archbishop/Metropolitan or Patriarch, makes it into a spearate church. The Greek Church was elevated to be the second highest see in prestige in the universal church (Patriarch of Constantinople) during the early councils of 300s and 400s AD, the presiding see of Rome taking longer to recognize this status. The Goth tribes on Ukrainian territory already sent a bishop to the first Ecumenical Council in Nicaea in 325. From this time, Ukraine was dependent on Constaninople, but still made independent overtures to Rome. The Ukrainian Church became a province with a Metropolitan in the decades following the Ukrainian capital's Baptism of Kyiv in 988. The province included Belarus, and part of today's European Russia, and was a subdivision of the Greek Church. The Ukrainian Church continued periodic contact with Rome after the Greek and Roman Churches split into Orthodox and Catholic during 1054-1203 AD. The Ukrainian Church was completely split from the Greek Orthodox Church during the period, 1595-1686. First, most hierarchs, and later a large minority of faithful declared union with the (Catholic) Church of Rome in 1595-6. Next, in 1686, Moscow (later to be called, Rossiya, or Russia) obtained a transfer of jurisdiction of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Kyiv from the Greeks at Contantinople to the Russians at Moscow. Ukrainians question the legality of the move, given the assertions of bribery. The Russian Orthodox Church then absorbed the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, making all bishops non-Ukrainian by 1800. As the Turkish/Ottoman invasion receded, the Church of Greece proper gained some independence from Constantinople around 1900. After 1990, a portion of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church abroad was recognized by Constantinople, while the Orthodox Church in Ukraine split into several groups and gained partial independance from Russia.

Can a Roman Catholic woman and a Roman Catholic man receive the sacrament of matrimony in a Ukrainian Catholic church?
I'm not familiar with the standing of a Ukrainian Catholic Church in relationship to the Roman Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox Church, which it may be, is currently in a 'schism' with the Church in Rome. This word, schism, is important. Any such church simply means that the Roman Catholic Church does not consider them preaching the same set of truths. When a Roman Catholic individual marries, they have a moral obligation to be married in the Catholic church. Thus, they should be married by a Roman Catholic priest who is in union with the Church. However, as you might have heard, exceptions can be granted. The best advice is really one that your pastor will answer. I urge you to pay him a visit and discuss this important topic. God bless you!

The Ukrainian Catholic Church is in union with the Holy Father and the Roman Catholic Church, so there should be no problem at all with a child baptized in that rite of the Church attending a Roman Catholic school.
What are Orthodox Catholics?
There are Eastern or Byzantine Rite Catholics but they are in full union with Rome as opposed to the Eastern Orthodox Churches which are not. There was a brief period in the 20th century, when a separate Orthodox Church broke away from the Eastern Orthodox Church in America and formed the America Orthodox Catholic Church. But it was yet another splinter of an already splintered Church. orthodox (small "O") means right belief, and thus is synonymous with Catholic. Now, there is also an Orthodox Catholic Church of America, also not in Communion with the Catholic Church. . You may read about the American Orthodox Catholic Church at the links below.
Which Eastern Church is not in union with the Roman Catholic Church?
The Catholic Church has had several Eastern Rites for most of her history. In the eleventh century, most of the Eastern Rites split in two, which half of each Rite remained with the church and half forming the new Orthodox Church. Thus the Greek Orthodox Church has the same liturgy as the Greek Uniate Church, but they are no longer in communion with Rome. Nearly all of the Eastern Rites did this, although I do not think that there is a "Russian" Uniate Church. Anyway, all of the Orthodox Churches are not in union with Rome.
