Baptism is only Entering into a faith, religion, and family. Like and establishment or welcoming into the family of God. And being Catholic, Baptism usually happens when you are little. So it's more for the Parents, who make a promise, than it is for the individual who is being baptized.
Communion is more important because that is the only way you can receive God's body and blood. But you can't have communion without first being Baptized, had your first reconciliation, and first communion. So, baptism is coming into the family/faith and important as a step to Communion, but Communion is God. It's like this
baptism = front door of God's house
Communion = Sitting next to God at the dinner table.
Either way, both are important Sacraments.

What if a non Catholic is taking holy communion how different is it from Catholic?
I am assuming you mean how different is communion in a non-catholic church vs. Holy Communion in a Catholic Church? In that instance, Holy Communion in a Catholic Church is, literally, the Body and Blood of Our Blessed Savior; brought about through the direct intervention of the Holy Spirit working through the priest who pronounces the words of consecration. For a Catholic to receive Holy Communion in a state of grace confers more grace through fulfilling Our Blessed Lord's command to eat His Body and drink His Blood. For a non-Catholic or a Catholic in a state of mortal sin to receive Holy Communion is to eat condemnation as St. Paul points out "and this is why many of your are ill and dying"

Is sharing a sense of community more important to a communion service than it is to a meaningful celebration of the eucharist?
Holy Communion (a communion service), and the Eucharist, are different names for the same thing. Holy Communion / the Eucharist was the ceremony instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper, as recorded in Mark 14:22-24: Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take it; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and they all drank from it. "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many," he said.
