The electors that choose the US president are called collectively the electoral college.
The electors who choose the President were considered to be representatives of the individual states. The states were allowed to determine their own method of choosing their electors, but I think the expectation was the state legislatures would choose them.
The voters choose the electors who then vote for the president. The electors say in advance for whom they are going to vote if they are elected. In many states the names of the electors do not even appear on the ballot, only the names of the candidates that the electors support.
Yes. We choose electors, and they elect the president.

The electoral college chooses the president.
The electors, aka the Electoral College (though that term is not used in the Constitution). The US Constitution specifies the number of electors and the way they are to be apportioned among the states. It doesn't explicitly state how the states are to choose their electors. At present, all state choose their electors based on the results of the popular election; in most states it's on a "winner take all" basis, but they're not required to do it that way.
