Johannes Kepler replaced circles with ellipses in the heliocentric model of the universe.
Kepler did not discover ellipses. In 1605 he discovered that the orbits of the planets were ellipses rather than perfect circles.

Ancient astronomer Ptolemy proposed the geocentric model of the universe in the 2nd century AD. According to this model, planets moved in small circles called epicycles, which in turn moved in larger circles around the Earth. This theory was later replaced by the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century.
The greatest inaccuracy in Copernicus' model of the solar system was that he still believed that planets moved in perfect circles, when in fact they move in ellipses. This led to inaccuracies in predicting planetary positions.
Johannes Kepler, using measured planetary positional data provided by Tycho Brahe, showed that the orbits of the planets were ellipses ("flattened circles"), with the Sun at one focus of the eliipse.
Ellipses are not circles.

Yes; the circle is a special case of an ellipse.

Ellipses (and, in the special case circles).
draw 2 circles the same size

The types of conic sections are circles, parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses.
