How did data gathered using Galileo's early telescope support the helioentric model?

None of it but Galileo's discoveries with the telescope were very important in raising questions about the old Ptolemaic theory, which was geocentric. However Galileo's discovery of Venus's phases was not a proof of the heliocentric principle because Tycho produced a geocentric model that explained Venus's phases.


Who is credited with improving the telescope and advocating the theory of a Sun-centered solar system?

Galileo.


Did Galileo invent anything else?

Yes,He also invented the a horse-powered pump to raise water, describing the true parabolic paths of cannonballs and other projectiles and confirming the Nicolas Copernican theory of the solar system.

How did Galileo observations support the idea of the heliocentric system?

Galileo's observations with his telescope supported the concept of heliocentricism. He noted that the satellites of Jupiter and Venus, based on their range of phases, did not match geocentricism supported by Ptolemy. He noted that based on these findings, that the Heliocentric theory was correct.
