The 2.5" KC600 will fit and work in your laptop.

However, you must check your own mainboard m.2 socket for one or two key bumps for the other two other m.2 Kingston NV1 & A2000models. This is because the E5-476G series might have a mainboard with the one key bump socket  or the two key bump socket. To be on the safe side, you should check this before ordering an m.2 NVME card which requires a one key bump socket as shown in the previous images.

Yes, the 2.5" KC600 can replace a 2.5" HDD if you have a 2.5" HDD already installed.

The other two m.2 NV1 & A2000 cards will only fit and work at SATA3 speeds. But you must first check if the m.2 socket on your laptop's mainboard has a single M-key bump on the right hand side. If it has two B+M key bumps, the m.2 nvme cards won't fit.

Just as an addition, here is what type of drives that Acer fits to your Aspire E5-476G of either 2.5 inch drives and/or M.2 drives:
