In a sence, most are. However, like earth, they are not in a perfect circle. The planets rotation is ovalish...sorta like an egg. Also interesting is that not all planets are on the same rotation axuis, as some rotate at a certain angle around the sun, just like how our moon rotates at a twenty-three degree angle.

Nope. A circular orbit would be unstable. Any tiny influence would turn it into an elliptical one.

They are very nearly circular, but are actually elliptical.
