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.

When did Catholic priests get licensed to perform marriages?
Catholic priests have always had the authority to perform marriages but I am assuming they are licensed to perform marriages when they are ordained. Marriage, or matrimony, is one of the Seven Sacraments of the Church. Also, Catholic priests do not perform marriages but they actually witness them.
Can an Episcopal priest conduct a wedding for a Catholic and a Presbyterian couple?
With the proper dispensation from the Ordinary (Local Bishop) of the diocese [usually obtained through the chancery office] and the couple has been instructed by going throught the Roman Catholic "Pre-Cana" courses, and the Catholic Party makes an oath that he/she will baptize, and educate, any children in the Roman Catholic faith, continuing to be a good example by the Catholic Faith he/she lives -- and with the permission of the parish in which all records are to be filed, a Catholic Priest may assist at a ceremony (not a communion service) or accept the vows... whatever the wishes of the couple may be.
If I have my child baptized in an Episcopal Church will the Catholic Church recognize this Will she be able to make her first communion when the time comes?
Yes, the Roman Catholic Church recognizes the baptism of the Episcopal Church and most any other Christian Church that performs a baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity, e.g., "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." The Pastor of your Catholic Church will request the Baptism Card or Certificate signed by the priest of your Episcopal Church, when your family is 'received' into the Catholic Church and/or prior to signing off on the child's the First Communion. As a side-note the Catholic Church recognizes that any person may perform the Baptism of a child in cases of necessity, even by a non-baptized person, with the required intention, by using the Trinitarian baptismal formula as stated above. The intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes. [Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1256]
