To make a confession in the Catholic Church do you have to reveal your specific sins or can you just confess what type of sins you committed?
As an Ex-Catholic, yes because unlike what The Bible says that sin is sin, the Catholic Church, who hold Catholic Dogma over what the word does not say, has broken sin into degrees as venial (light sinning) and mortal sins (heavy nasty stuff). Those light sinners go to another place not mentioned even in the Catholic approved Bible, called purgatory and can be prayed out. Back in the Catholic Churches good old days when 99% of the population couldn't read and were ignorant of what was really written , indulges made the Pope and his ordained wealthy by charging Christians to pray family members out of Purgatory, it was a good racket until Martin Luther made a trip to Rome and the Vatican.

How does the Anglican church members go to confession?
On the whole, unless an Anglican is of the Catholic tradition in the Anglican Church (ie, they are catholic to all intents and purposes except they reject the authority of the pope), then Anglicans do not go to confession. That does not mean that they do not confess their sins! At almost every Anglican service there is an act of confession and absolution, and Anglicans take sin just as seriously as Catholics. However, the vast majority of Anglicans do not see the need to confess to a priest as an intermediary, but confess directly to God, as per the early Church practices and reject entirely the Catholic tradition of 'having' to go to confession on, say, a weekly basis. Instead they confess their sins when they need to, directly to God, whether as part of a service or not.

When a Catholic priest is in the sacrament of Confession can he tell anyone about it?
No way. Even if you've committed murder and you confess it, the priest cannot tell anyone, not even the cops. This is because Catholic priests are bound by the Church with the 'seal of the sacrament of reconciliation'. By this seal, Catholic priests are forbidden to reveal anything about the sins the penitent has told them. Catholic priests are also forbidden to use the knowledge they have about the penitent from hearing the penitent's confession. There are no exceptions, and breaking the seal would be punished severely.
