You get baptised and get married in the Greek Orthodox Church
Since you are confirmed Orthodox and married a Greek Orthodox, the Orthodox Church requires that any children you may have should be baptized Orthodox. Also, as an Orthodox, you are not allowed to baptize your nephew or any other person in a catholic church.

No, baptism in the Catholic Church automatically means that you are bound to all the laws of the Rite in which you are baptized. Orthodox Churches are in schism, however, there is a Catholic Rite for each of the Orthodox Churches. When the Orthodox split, half of them remained with the Catholic Church, so there is a Greek Uniate Rite as well as a Greek Orthodox Church. A Catholic has no problem with going to the sacraments in another Rite.
In the Greek Orthodox Church, marriage is considered a sacrament, and typically, both parties must be baptized Christians for the marriage to be recognized as valid within the church. A marriage conducted by a judge between a Greek Orthodox individual and a non-baptized person may be legally valid in the eyes of civil law, but it would not be recognized as valid by the Greek Orthodox Church. For a marriage to be recognized by the church, the non-baptized partner would generally need to undergo baptism or conversion.
