Is the US Supreme Court the same as the Judicial Branch?
The term "supreme court" is used in both the state and federal judicial systems. Every state has a state supreme court, or a differently named equivalent, which is the highest appellate court within the state system. State supreme courts are typically located in the state capital. In at least one state, New York, "supreme court" refers not to the highest court of appeals, but to the trial court in which cases are initially heard.Every state is also a part of the national federal court system and its federal regulations, starting from district, appellate, and finally, the U.S. Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court is the highest appellate court in both federal and state systems for preserved questions of federal and constitutional law. The US Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over individual state laws or state constitutional issues.Generally, when people refer to "The Supreme Court," they mean the Supreme Court of the United States, or (colloquially) SCOTUS or US Supreme Court. When referring to a state supreme court, a person usually identifies the state first, as in Ohio Supreme Court, Alabama Supreme Court, etc.

What act of determining a national law unconstitutional?
I am not sure what you mean by "act." There is no one act that applies here, but there is a procedure for determining whether a law is unconstitutional. It usually involves a challenge at the state level first. After that, the case is then taken to a district or federal court, and finally, it is taken up at the Supreme Court (assuming the Supreme Court decides to take the case; they do not take every case they are asked to review). But under our system of checks and balances, while a state's attorney general or an individual plaintiff from a state may challenge the constitutionality of a law (such as President Obama's health care law, or the Defense of Marriage Act), it is the Supreme Court that has the final say on whether a particular law is unconstitutional.
