Does that mean the Archbishop of Canterbury is the Pope of the Episcopal Church?

No, there is no equivalent of the Pope in the Episcopal Church or in the wider Anglican Communion. Each branch of the Anglican Communion is autonomous and self-governing. The Archbishop of Canterbury is a spiritual figure-head of the Anglican Communion but has no formal authority in any branch except his own Church of England.
