We purchased a pool cover from our local pool company. You probably should order one online because it might be cheaper. They don't last 10 years like they claim. The pool cover requires the inflatable pillows under it. The larger the pool, the harder it is to cover. Ours required a minimum of 4 people to put on and take off. The water that accumulates on top of the cover often develops algae. When removed, algae gets in the pool. It became far too much trouble. I live in the south so I simply try to keep the pool relatively clean during the winther months. I don't even run the pump between Oct. and around March. The pool cover now covers our saltwater boat. Weigh the pros and cons. Hope this helps.

You would be best of enquiring with the manufacturer of the pool as to the best way to make the necessary repairs. They are very likely to have exactly the right advise and materials to do the job.
The best way would be to unplug the swimming pool filter, open the drain valve on your pool filter turn the pump back on and drop the water level to the desired level about 2 inches above the skimmer.
A lot of people do this. the best way to do it is to simply make the hole as close to the right size as you can, Put the pool in it, fill it, then back fill around the pool with a weak sand cement mix.
Due to the differences in engineering and the parts involved, there really is no way to convert an oval above ground pool into a round pool.
In simplest terms, an above ground pool pump is a flooded suction pump, which means the water level must be higher than the pump for it to operate, and an inground pump has the ability to draw water up from a level lower than the pump. The engineering and structure of these two different types of pumps is what makes them work the way they do. This means that, in a typical installation, you could use an inground-specific pump on an above ground pool, but not an above ground pump on an inground pool with the water level below the pump.
If you build up a level area to place your pool you will have no problems. If you place the pool on the ground the way it is your water level will only be as high as the lowest side of your pool.
Generally...no.
