Does a formula show the ratio elements in a compound?

depends, an Empirical formula will always (by definition) show the ratio in which atoms are combined within a molecule. a molecular formula on the other hand shows the number of atoms of each element in a molecule, the only exceptions being massive structures, crystal latices and where a molecular formula cannot be produced and is either given in the form n*(empirical formula) or just the empirical formula. do note however that reference to a formula of a molecule usually refer to the molecular formula except in the exceptions listed above.
