If the heater has a specified branch circuit rating with the manufacturer's information then follow that. If not then assuming it is to be run more than 3 hours per day:

19.7 A x 1.25 = 24.6 A

Next size standard breaker is 25 A (see NEC 240.6)

So you will need #10 AWG Copper and a 25A 2 pole breaker.

Can a circuit breaker be used to run two three phase motors?

If you mean "a" circuit breaker for two (2) three-phase motors, then yes. As long as the rating is not exceeded by the current draw of the two motors. This would, of course, require the use of a three phase breaker arrangement, and power from a three phase source. The question is kind of vague. Now, just saying that it can be done is one thing, but should it be done? That is where you need to refer to your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) over electrical matters. However, in a normal industrial/commercial setting (3-phase power), an MCC would normally be used, with one breaker/circuit per motor.
