Can you be in a civil union with one person and married to another since the two types of unions are distinct?
No. In states where same-sex civil unions or marriages have been legalized, what you are describing is a crime for which you can be prosecuted (bigamy). Whichever event took place second is considered a fraudulent attempt at marriage or civil union and was never legal, not even before it was discovered. In states where same-sex civil unions or marriages have NOT been legalized, you are not in a civil union, you are only married. Your civil union is legally nullified upon crossing the state line.

Before the Civil War, some believed that each state had the right to leave the Union by its decision alone. The US Civil War established that a state cannot succeed from the Union without the permission of the other states, as expressed by Act of Congress.

No state, it was owned by Mexico.

In 1866, there were 37 states in the United States. This was after the Civil War and during the Reconstruction era, as several Southern states had been re-admitted to the Union after their secession. The last state to join before 1866 was West Virginia, which became a state in 1863.
Which clause makes States honor legality of one another's civil laws?
I think you are asking about the Full Faith and Credit clause, which states that contracts binding in one state are to be recognized in another state. This generally includes marriages, adoptions, and property purchases.
