Yes. The planets travel fastest at perihelion, the closest point to the sun in the orbit, and slowest at aphelion, the farthest point.

Why your planets revolve in elliptical orbit rather than circular orbit?
Circular orbits are unstable; any outside influence (i.e. other planets) will distort them. Elliptical orbits are self adjusting.
What does it mean to say that the planets revolve in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus?
that it will be faster when closer to the sun than futher away
Planets revolve around the sun along?
In one word 'YES'. The paths that you describe are the planets orbits. These orbits are shaped like 'Ellipsoids'., that is an ellipse that doesn't quite close-up , but overloops with every circuit. The Sun lies not at the centre of the ellipsoid, but at one of the foci. As a consequence planets following their orbits paths speed up (Nearest the Sun) and slow down (Furthest from the Sun).
Does the earth and other planets revolve around the sun?
yes, the earth and other planets revolve around the sun
Do the planets rotate around the sun?
Yes, all of the planets rotate around the sun, in the same direction but at different speeds and time periods. well planets rotate on their own axis, the correct term would be revolve. The planets revolve around the sun

Kepler

Why your planets revolve in elliptical orbit rather than circular orbit?
Circular orbits are unstable; any outside influence (i.e. other planets) will distort them. Elliptical orbits are self adjusting.

Do planets revolve around the sun at the same speed?
A planet has an elliptical shaped orbit. It orbits with a constant angular speed, but a varying linear speed.
Who is the astronomer that discovered planets revolve in an elliptical orbit?
It was Johannes Kepler 1571-1630 who produced the Laws of Planetary Motion in 1618.
What does it mean to say that the planets revolve in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus?
that it will be faster when closer to the sun than futher away
Are the orbits of inner planets relatively closely spaced?
some times because we revolve in an elliptical orbit which is like the shape of an oval
