The string theory "supplant" the general theory of relativity using the closed string to represent the gravitational force.
But take into account that string theory is not yet experimentally probed.

String theory is an attempt to reconcile classical and relativistic physics with quantum mechanics, both of which do not seem to be compatible at our current level of understanding. String theory doesn't seek to supplant them, but to unify the two.

The string theory is that all particles of mass are just vibrations along strings which make up the fabric of space and time. Einstein based relativity on the topology of space and time, which would fit well with the string theory.

No. String theory is designed to unify relativity and quantum mechanics. If true, it would supplant neither.

Not yet, if ever. String Theory is full of promise but almost empty of usefulness.
