Buddhism originally was part of which religion

Buddhism was started by the Buddha who was a rich Hindu prince. However, he wanted to realize the Truth. He wanted Enlightenment. Therefore, he turned away from Hinduism, which had led to the division of society, created the caste system and other malpractices and ills including meaningless rituals and superstitions. The young prince went in quest of Enlightenment, and he realized the light within. He realized that we are not this body, we are not this mind and he called it Nirvana. It was the same belief advocated by the ancient Hindus through Sanatana Dharma but he gave it a new name. He removed all the ills that Hinduism had acquired. So essentially, Buddhism has grown from the original Hindu faith called Sanatana Dharma.

Which school of Buddhism focuses on the authority of the Tripitaka and the historical study of Buddha

Theravada

There are no classical schools of Buddhism that do both. The Pali Tripitaka is the center of Theravadin Buddhism, however historical study of the Buddha is not a part of the tradition -- though no doubt there are some Theravadins who have an interest.

The historical study of the Buddha seems to progress mostly in scholarly circles.

You might try searching out Skeptical Buddhism if you're interested in finding a group that is interested in both the Tripitaka and the historical study of the Buddha. (Facebook has an active group.)
