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.

Politically you're right, but for the exercise naming the counties would be the closest.
Naming the countries would be fine if every state here were like Texas.

Yeah, naming the counties would be a ridiculous question. There are almost 50 ceremonial ones in just England alone. Countries within the kingdom are definitely the way to go. I thought Cornwall was part of England.
