Can Episcopal clergy marry?
Sure a bishop can marry. See for yourself at 1 Timothy 3:2. However, he should be a husband of one wife. In the Roman Catholic Church Bishops are taken from the priests and conscecrated. The current ruling in the Catholic Church is that Bishops may not be married. There have been at different times in the Church men ordained to the priesthood who have been married - currently we have ordained priests from the Episcopal church who are married. But in the Latin rite and in other rites, such as the Maronites, these married priests are never considering for the bishopric. All men when ordained to any major order in the church take a vow of celibacy which means that if ordained as a deacon and their wife dies, they may not remarry. So, there may be married priests or deacons, but not bishops; and no ordained clergy could ever get married. As the first contributer above pointed out, there were married Bishops in the first century, but Bishops could not get married
Is the Episcopal priest able to perform transsubstantiation with the same authority as a Catholic priest?
The Episcopal priest is able to perform all the Sacraments of the Episcopal Church with the same authority as a Catholic priest for THEIR own sacraments. But the Episcopal Church does not believe in transsubstantiation. Transsubstantiation is strictly a Catholic doctrine that states Christ is truly present, Body, Soul, Blood, and Divinity, within the Bread and Wine AS the "Body of Christ". The Episcopal Church believes that after the Words of Institution that Jesus Christ is truly present--really present--in the Bread and Wine. In the Catholic Church the bread and wine is no longer bread and wine. Look up Platonic Philosophy.
