Who formally elects the president and vice president of the US?
Ideally, the people of the US elect their officials, but technically the "Electoral College" elects the President and VP. ------------------------ Each state gets a number of "official" votes called electoral votes. The size of the population in each state determines how many votes each states get. (Each state has the number of "electoral votes" equal to its number of US Senators and US Representatives combined.) Depending on how the people of the state vote (i.e Democrat or Republican), the Electors (people chosen on the ballot) cast their votes for each candidate. Some states divide their votes, but most are "all or nothing" for the prevailing party. The people's votes are called the "popular vote", and it has occurred that candidates with more "popular votes" have actually lost. (e.g. in 1888 - see link)
How does the U.S. determined who has won the presidential election?
The above answer needs to be amended slightly. Each State's number of Electoral Votes is equal to the number of US Senators & US Representatives in the US Congress. Each State has just two US Senators and at least one US Representative. The number of US Representatives nationwide is distributed based on population (total 435), however each state has two senators regardless of population (total 100). Additionally, Washington DC has three electoral votes. As a result, Washington, DC and those states with the smallest populations have more Electoral Votes than if the Electoral Votes were distributed solely by population.

538. A state gets an electoral vote for each Representative and Senator it sends to Washington. The number of Senators is two per state, or 100, while the number of Representatives is fixed by law at 435, apportioned among the states through a complicated process. The 23rd Amendment, ratified in 1961, gives the District of Columbia three electoral votes, giving the total 538.
