Yes and no. An amphitheater is an oval or circular building with rows of seats for spectators. It's usually used for sporting events, but concerts, expos of all types can be held in one. The Colosseum therefore is an amphitheater. However, there is only one Colosseum and it is in Rome. "Colosseum" is a nickname for the Flavian amphitheater. However many cities name their sporting arenas or expo halls "The Colosseum" for their own purposes, even though it is technically a misnomer.
Apparently, the "hippodrome" was used primarily for events that related to horses, such as horse racing and equestrian shows (perhaps including events like rodeos today.) The word "hippos" is the Greek term for "horse". A hippodrome was the eastern word for the western word "circus". They were used for the same purposes, which were mainly Chariot Racing. An amphitheater is a circular/oval structure used for milti-purpose events.
Nothing really, some might argue that size nowadays is a difference but the circus maximus in the imperial times could seat 385 000 people with priority seating which was covered over head.
