Do the courts of appeals hear cases that are not important enough to come before the supreme court?
It's part of the process. I don't think a case can bypass the appeals level on its way to the supreme court.

Cases are usually taken up through a writ of certiorari, which the Supreme Court grants at its discretion.

What federal courts hear appeals from Courts of Military Review?
Appeals from the Courts of Military Review are heard by the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF). This court is specifically tasked with reviewing decisions made by the Courts of Military Review, which handle cases involving military personnel. The CAAF's rulings can be further appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, but only if the Supreme Court chooses to hear the case.

If the question is asking about appeals of state supreme court rulings, then the first federal level of appeal would be at the U.S. Court of Appeals for whatever Federal Judicial Circuit the state was located in.
How does a death penalty case get to the supreme court?
The appeals system is a little complicated, but essentially: the person who has received the death penalty would need to appeal to the Supreme Court and then the Supreme Court would have to grant a writ of certiorari. The "complicated" part comes from the fact that it would have been appealed to lower courts (the state Supreme Court, or a Circuit Court of Appeals) before the US Supreme Court would agree to hear the appeal.
What type of case does the Supreme Court hear if it has been heard before another court?
(in India) The Supreme Court hears all cases of writs, appeals and review.
What is the definition of Court of Appeals?
A court of appeals is a court of appellate jurisdiction. This is in contrast to a court of original jurisdiction. If I get in a car wreck and want to sue, I would file my lawsuit in the trial court (whether state or federal), a court of original jurisdiction. Say I lose. I get one appeal as of right to the court of appeals. In most states, that is called the court of appeals or appellate division (or the circuit court of appeals in the federal system) There judges would review my case to be sure the decision at trial was proper. If I lose again, I could petition my State's supreme court (or the US supreme court if I was in federal court) for what is called certiorari (which just means I am asking them to hear my case). The Supreme Court is not required to hear my case, but if they do, that would be the final word on whatever issue I presented to that court in most cases.
Other than the US Courts of Appeals Circuit Courts which court can send cases directly to the us supreme court?
The U.S. Supreme Court can hear appeals both from the U.S. Courts of Appeals ("Circuit Courts") and the state courts of last resort (often--but not always--called the state's supreme court). The Supreme Court's power to consider appeals from the state courts was confirmed in the case Martin v. Hunter's Lessee, and is meant to ensure some level of uniformity.The US Supreme Court can also hear certain cases on expedited appeal directly from US District Courts. This is most likely to occur when one of the parties is a high-ranking government official, or if Congress has specified an expedited appellate process in a particular statute.Most appeals to the US Supreme Court originate with the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts; however, under special circumstances, cases may be appealed directly from any of the courts listed below:US Court of Appeals Circuit CourtsUS District CourtsState supreme courts (or their equivalent)State intermediate appellate courtsUS Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces

The Supreme Court is the court of last resort. When all appeals and lower courts have heard and ruled on a case it may go to the Supreme Court, but the court doesn’t have to hear it and may let the lower ruling stand or kick it back to the lower federal court.
