Hitler was Austrian, the son of Roman Catholic parents and had a Roman Catholic upbringing. Those stories about his having a Jewish grandparent (father's mother) date from the 1920s and were hostile Propaganda, intended to convey the message that he was a hypocrite.

As for legal nationality, he was born Austrian, but loathed Austria so much that he renounced his Austrian citizenship in 1926. This made him stateless, but in February 1932 the Nazi-controlled state of Brunswick made him a citizen. In accordance with German nationality law of the time this automatically conferred German citizenship.
