How does the Catholic Church view LDS marriages and baptisms? Are they seen as valid, invalid, or does it “depend”?
 
LDS baptisms are invalid.

Here is my source, straight from the Holy See.

LDS *marriages *- i.e. a marriage between a Mormon man and a Mormon woman - are valid but not Sacramental. They are what is called “valid natural marriages.”

The Catholic Church does not even view the LDS Charch as heretical, but rather an entirely different religion altogether, therefore it does not accept Mormon baptisms as valid. I believe that Church would not consider a Mormon marriage to be sacramental, probably more along the lines of a civil marriange.

Edit: Just saw that the post above me said the same thing, except with documentation. :o

I would say its a safe bet the C.C does not view any of the lds doctrine as valid.
