Does ethnocentrism and isolationism mean the same thing?
They are closely related. Ethnocentrism is when you are so wrapped up in your own culture or society that you are not really aware that some people behave differently. For example, some Americans might speak to a person from another country and ask "Who is your president?" not being aware that not all countries have presidents, or indeed that American law is not in force outside of the borders of the United States. Isolationism is a deliberate foreign policy to not involve one's country in the issues of the wider world. China pursued an isolationist policy for centuries. Having an isolationist or imperialist foreign policy can lead to ethnocentrism.

Why was America's foreign policy isolationist in 1920s?
America had always been "isolationist" insofar as its circumstances allowed. Nobody wanted to be involved in European affairs more than could be avoided. In 1917, isolation became temporarily impossible when the Germans started sinking American ships, and sought a deal with Mexico against the US, forcing President Wilson to abandon neutrality. With that problem apparently taken care of, US policy went back to normal after the war. Much the same was true for Britain, which had pursued a policy of "splendid isolation" until the growth of the German fleet caused her to look for allies. With the German Navy gone, she too played only a very limited role in European affairs for much of the interwar preriod. Basically, the whole English speaking world was as "isolationist" as it could get away with being.
