The same leader that the Catholic Church has had from the very beginning of its existence back when Our Blessed Lord was alive: Jesus Christ, who is It's Head, He rules the Church through His Vicar on earth, the Holy Father in Rome, the successor of St. Peter - see St. Matthew 16:17-19 when Our Blessed Lord appointed St. Peter as His first Vicar on earth.
If by "leader" you mean "the pope," then the leader of the Catholic Church in 1958 was either Pope Pius XII, who's reign ended in that year, or Pope John XXIII, who succeeded Pope Pius XII in that same year.
No, the Catholic Church is the Christian Church, the original Christian Church. The Episcopal Church is a Protestant Church and not Catholic. To be Catholic a Church must accept the pope as the leader of the Church as well as other Catholic doctrines. The Episcopal Church does not.

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!
ukrainian catholic church is really protestant I do believe
No, a priest and a pastor are not the same thing. A priest is typically a member of the clergy in the Catholic or Orthodox Church, while a pastor is a leader in Protestant denominations.
It is in August, the same as the Catholic Church.
The Anglican Church does not have a single leader in the same way that the Roman Catholic Church has the Pope. Instead, it is composed of various national and regional churches, each led by its own bishops and archbishops. The Archbishop of Canterbury is considered the spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion, providing guidance and representing the unity of the church but does not hold authoritative power over individual provinces.
Seeing as there is no break in historical continuity between the early Church and the Catholic Church, the symbol that applied to the early Church by definition represents the Catholic Church.
