St. Mark
No, it is not in communion with the Catholic Church.
The languages used in the Catholic Coptic Church can be known as many things as it is written in the Ethiopian rite and the Alexandria rite (were the Coptic Church is from) the languages used are Icelantic.
Under normal conditions a Roman Catholic cannot substitute a Coptic Mass, which is an Orthodox Church, for his Sunday obligation to assist at a Catholic Mass unless there is no Catholic Church in the area. However, a Catholic may attend a Coptic wedding or funeral in the same way he may attend a Protestant funeral or wedding.
Yes. The Coptic Catholic Church broke away with the Coptic Orthodox Church to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. This occurred around 1741 under the direction of a Coptic bishop named Amba Athanasius. Athanasius converted to Catholicism with about 2,000 Coptics. Although Althanasius converted back to the Coptic Orthodox Church, most of the people remained and grew into what is now the Coptic Catholic Church. It's important to note that the Coptic Catholic Church is not an independent Church, but a rite under the Catholic Church. The differences between rites are purely cultural, NOT doctrinal. So even though different rites in the Catholic Church may celebrate mass a little differently, they all believe in the same teachings of the Catholic Church and remain loyal to the Pope.
