Is working as a youth minister in a catholic school considered religious employment?

No. You would be considered a regular employee or an independent contractor depending on your agreement with the catholic school. If you are not a licensed, commissioned, or ordained minister, you would not follow the rules for clergy income.

I work for the same company as last year but my employer's name has changed due to being bought out. Is this considered a new employer or the same?
