Use an assumption in Simplify.
assumption = x^2+y^2==1;
soln = Simplify[#,assumption]&/@
{3x^2+2y^2,
(x^2+y^2)^(1/2),
A[x^2]+B[y^2]+C[x^2+y^2]}
{3 - y^2, 1, A[x^2] + B[y^2] + C[1]}
In the first case Mathematica eliminated x rather than y. You can use a
replacement rule to convert the expression.
rr = Solve[assumption,y]//Last;
soln[[1]] /. rr
x^2 + 2
