They are "electors" and as a group they are the "electoral college." Voters in Presidential elections are actually selecting the electors who represent a given party or candidate.
Under the US Contitution, voters in each state select Presidential Electors who meet in their State Capitals and vote on the Presidential slates. Together, these Electors constitute the Electoral College, although the College never meets all together in one place.
Although Electors are usually pledged to vote for one slate or another, there is no constitutional requirement that they do so. Originally they were expected to vote as they thought best for their states and the country.
The group of people chosen by the voters to elect the president and the vice President of the United States is known as the Electoral College. Each state has a certain number of electors, determined by its representation in Congress, who vote for the president and vice president based on the popular vote in their respective states.

No, the president and president-elect cannot be on the same ballot. The president-elect is the individual who has been elected and will assume the presidency after the current president's term ends. During an election, voters choose between different candidates to determine who will become the president-elect, who will then become the next president.
