I know some churches call themselves "Eastern Catholic" or "Greek Catholic" or "Chaldean Catholic", etc. Are they associated with the Roman Catholic Church or the Eastern Orthodox Church?
They are associated with the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is universal and includes many different cultures.
There are 23 churches under 7 rites in the Catholic Church, which are all in full communion with the pope and share the same beliefs as all the other Catholics in the world.
Here is a list of all the rites and sui iuris churches in the Catholic Church....

Although the Orthodox also believe that they are one holy catholic and apostolic church, they identify themselves as Orthodox, not (Eastern) Catholic.

When IJR was growing up Byzantine Catholic, the Sunday School teacher wanted us to get a good understanding the CATHOLIC or UNIVERSAL nature of the church, so she arranged for the class to attend a mass at a local Roman Catholic Church. While still a Catholic, IJR attended many other Masses as well. IJR was just wondering if any R.C had gone to an Eastern Catholic service. How did you like it?
I've been to a wedding at a Greek Orthodox church, does that count? The church was beautiful and the ceremony was very nice.

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God.The Roman Catholic Church(also the Eastern Catholic CHurch) is the representation of Jesus Christ.Christ lives in her and she in Christ.Hence the Blessed Virgin Mary also bore the Catholic Church at the time of her conception.Whatever worries struggles and concerns the Catholic Church may have she may have she bears them too and carries them all the way with the Church and its people till the end of time
Just as the previous Ark of the Covenant went down into the Jordan River and remained until all the chosen ones passed into the Promised Land so too does the Virgin Mary, the New Ark of the Covenant, go into the Abyss and wait until all of her children pass into the Promised land. It is from here she goes out to meet with her children and advise them and encourage them as seen in places around the world like Medjugore

BESIDES the Catholic church uses Latin and the Eastern Orthodox church uses Greek? Mainly, their spiritual beliefs.
First of all Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox are both Catholics. The Roman Catholic Church recognizes the Pope (first bishop) as being the Apostolic Authority of the Church. The Eastern Orthodox do not acknowledge the Pope as being the Apostolic Authority of the Church. Then there is the matter of Roman Catholic Priest, Monks, Nuns, etc. not being allowed to be married. The Eastern Orthodox do allow Priest to be married, with the exception of their Monks who are not allowed. Then there is also the issue of the Deutercanonical Books within their Bibles, the Eastern Orthodox has a couple more books (the books vary from one Orthodox denomination from the other). Then there is the other matter that Eastern Orthodox considers the crucifix to be idol worshiping, the Orthodox cross is very plane with no image of Jesus on it. I also believe the Eastern Orthodox to be stricter with their dogmas then with the Roman Catholic Church. That's why the Roman Catholic Church's parishioners are more vast in numbers then the Old School Orthodox.
I'm interested in exploring the Eastern Rite of the Catholic faith, and can't seem to pin down a good list of Eastern Rite Catholic Churches in the DC area (specifically, any that are near a Metro Station or a 30 and/or 96/97 bus line). Any valid help people can offer would be great.
The Byzantine Catholic Mission of Montgomery County (Maryland) and Annandale VA (Epiphany of Our Lord Byzantine Catholic Church) appear to be the closest (or at least those local churches that have Web sites).
There is also Patronage of the Mother of God (Byzantine-Ruthenian Rite) in Baltimore.

Good Friday – Great amp; Holy Friday « Adrienne#39;s Armoire
Today is Good Friday in The Western Catholic Church, and Great and Holy Friday in The Eastern Catholic Churches. We honor the Death of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by attending services, keeping quiet without radio, TV, unnecessary cell phone use, etc.., between the hours of noon – 3pm, when Christ suffered and died on The Cross. His Mother Mary stood by The Cross (she was sorrowful, but did not swoon) as did St. John, to whom Jesus entrusted the care of His Blessed Mother.
Strict fast and abstinence in both churches [aka = rites]. You can any of the Western or Eastern Catholic Churches to fulfill your Catholic obligations and desire to adore, honor, and have compassion for Him Who died for your salvation.
...Byzantine, Texas: Washing of the feet
( Wikipedia ) - The Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches practice the ritual of the Washing of Feet on Holy and Great Thursday (Maundy Thursday) according to their ancient rites. The service may be performed either by a bishop, washing the feet of twelve priests; or by an Hegumen (Abbot) washing the feet of twelve members of the brotherhood of his monastery. The ceremony takes place at the end of the Divine Liturgy. After Holy Communion, and before the dismissal, the brethren all go in procession to the place where the Washing of Feet is to take place (it may be in the center of the nave, in the narthex, or a location outside). After a psalm and some troparia (hymns) an ektenia (litany) is recited, and the bishop...
