Not really sure that's apples to apples. Wouldn't naming the countries in Europe be more accurate a comparison?
As far as being political subdivisions it would be pretty similar with a British twist. When you take into account the level of autonomy that US states have it wouldn't be exactly synonymous. But for the presented exercise it would be close for its purpose.

Not really. Counties in England are more like Congressional districts than states. Now, naming the Kingdoms of the UK (Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Cornwall) would be more akin to the states than the counties are.
