Since an electoral college need not be swayed by popular vote does my vote really count?
Yes, your vote absolutely still counts; it is part of the electoral college for your state. For example, my state, Michigan, has 17 electoral votes. My vote, along with the other voters in Michigan, comprise those 17 electoral votes. Now, what can happen is that one candidate wins some states in a landslide, but the other candidate squeaks by in other states. The "squeaker" ends up with less popular votes (all votes tallied together), but more electoral votes (votes individualized by state). In that case, congratulations President Squeaker!

How did the electoral college help to overcome the delegates concerns about uniformed voters?

The Electoral College was included in the Constitution primarily because the Framers believed that?
There was considerable debate about how the chief executive was to be selected, but the electoral college was finally settled on as a compromise between those who wanted pure popular vote and those who wanted state legislatures to choose. The popular vote was turned down largely because, due to lack of widespread communications ability, the voters in each state would pick a regional local, not knowing anything about central figures [after the founding fathers would have passed on], so that regionalism multiplied by 13 would always result in the most populous states deciding the presidency. The electoral college at least gave some weighted influence to the smaller states. The reason for the electoral college has now died with the growth of communications and political parties, and the demise of state sovereignty interests.
Did The Constitution originally rejected the principle of popular sovereignty?
