hey yes. but as you can see, the intersection of a cylinder and a flat face will be an egg if the two are not orhogonal. so, you'll want to angle your original circle for extruding.

If you sweep a circle at an angle, you get an ellipse by definition. What exactly do you want?
Don't use the hole as the basis for the tube. Start by creating a "curve point" plane, on the end of the angled line. sketch a circle on this new plane, then extrude the circle "up to face" on the base plate.
As a 2nd option - (maybe a better way) you can also use the "frame" command.
Also you don't need separate sketches for the small holes - put them all in the 1st sketch (and use dimensions, until sketch is "resolved").
I strongly recommend that you take the "self-paced learning courses" in the learning center. Most of the entry level courses are free, and do a very good job of explaining how to get started "step by step".
Good luck
thank you! how do i angle the cirkle sketch?
Thank you guys! :)
