Seconded. My old church was Anglo-Catholic Episcopal -- one of the most A-C in the country, actually -- and we really did have confessional booths. They were probably used less than in Catholic churches, but they still did have regular hours of operation around Lent, as well as by appointment. That's fairly rare among Episcopal churches, though, and virtually unknown in non-Catholic sects. Except the Eastern Orthodox -- they might well have them. I'm honestly not sure.
And yeah, "pastor" is a rare word to hear in a high church Episcopal or Catholic setting. You might hear "preacher," but it would be in an individual sense, like "Susan is our preacher for today, because she's preaching the sermon."
