Find ellipsoid that contains intersection of an ellipsoid and a hyperplane
Your are describing the basic step in the ellipsoid algorithm. Your question might be answered in lecture notes on the algorithm, such as these ones by Goemans.

More generally, given a convex body $K$, the minimum volume ellipsoid containing it is called the Löwner–John ellipsoid. The same name is also given to the maximum volume ellipsoid contained in $K$. See for example these lecture notes of Boyd and Vandenberghe.
