Why wasn't John McCain given a discharge from the Navy after his committing adultery a violation of article 134 of the UCMJ?

Just because you commit an offense under the UCMJ doesn't necessarily mean you will be puinished for it. It's up to the commander's discression if they want to pursue action against the person. Adultery doesn't mean you're automatically put out of the military. He could've received an Article 15 for this incident. That justifies as his punishment. If he had other infractions along with the adultery incident he could've possibly been chaptered out for patterns of misconduct but again it would be up to the commander if he/she wanted to initiate a discharge him.

If military husband filed for divorce which is pending and military wife has moved on and is now pregnant could wife be punished with UCMJ?

If she got pregnant by someone else before the divorce was finalised, she could be. I'm not a lawyer, and never was, but, from what I've seen, if the pregnancy occurred after divorce papers were filed, the military probably wouldn't be particularly enthusiastic about pursuing the matter.

You will need to submit a package to the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) if you were in the Navy or Marines. Army and Air Force have an equivalent board called the Board for Correction of Military Records. These boards have web sites which are helpful in the application process. You will have to demonstrate an error or injustice by providing documentation to support your case.

There are several factors you will want to consider as you prepare your application including obtaining representation, and assistance in preparing your case. There are several organizations that provide representation free of charge.

What is the punishment for the female soldier that had and affair with a married male soldier and deserted the army to protect the child with the intent of returning to military control?

Well, adultery would bring an Article 15 for both parties involved.

Going AWOL would lead to a dishonorable discharge, plus possible time spent in incarceration if the AWOL period caused the soldier to miss movement (in the case of her being in a deploying unit). There would definitely be a court-martial for going AWOL, and a court-martial conviction is equivalent to a felony conviction in a civil court, even if no time is served. The military isn't likely to be sympathetic to her situation, either, especially since it involves adultery. A female soldier who missed movement because she absolutely could not find anyone to care for her child while she was to be deployed couldn't get a break, and she had a valid reason, so it's not likely the female soldier in this situation is going to fare any better.
