How did the election of 1800 change all elections to come?
It lead to the creation of the Twelfth Amendment, which addresses the issue of choosing the Vice President. The protocol prior to this election was that the Presidential candidate with the most votes would win the office of President, and the second-place candidate would be awarded the office of Vice President. However, this system became flawed in 1800, and it became clear that this could not be a permanent system. The Twelfth Amendment was written in order to solve that problem.
Why does the passage of the 12th amendment support the idea that the constitution is a living constitution?
I don't believe the twelfth amendment supports the idea any more than the other amendments. The idea of a living constitution is the belief that the constitution must change and evolve as our country does and all the amendments are support of that idea because amendments are change. It also comes from the notion that the constitution is purposely broad so as to leave it open for interpretation and change.

How did the twelfth amendment change the way the president is chosen when no candidate earns the majority electoral votes?
Prior to adoption of the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution, electors cast votes for two persons. Electors could not distinguish between their presidential and vice-presidential choices. The recipient of the most electoral votes would become president and the runner-up vice-president. The 12th Amendment of the Constitution states that electors are to vote separately for the president and vice president, on separate electoral ballots. Before this amendment the electors cast two votes in one election and the second-place finisher was made vice-president. If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.

How did the electoral college change?
The emergence of political parties and nationally coordinated election campaigns soon complicated matters in the elections of 1796 and 1800. Electors could not distinguish between their presidential and vice-presidential choices until the passage of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1804. In 1796, the recipient of the most electoral votes would become president and the runner-up vice-president. The United States presidential election of 1796 was the first contested American presidential election and the only one to elect a President and Vice President from opposing tickets. Although John Adams won, Thomas Jefferson received more electoral votes than John Adams' vice-presidential running mate Thomas Pinckney and Jefferson was elected Vice-President. Responding to the problems from those elections, the Congress proposed the Twelfth Amendment in 1803 - prescribing electors cast separate ballots for president and vice president - to replace the system outlined in Article II, Section 1, Clause 3. By June 1804, the states had ratified the amendment in time for the 1804 election.
