They stay in Casa Di Santa Marta which was constructed specifically to house the cardinals during a conclave. It gives them a bit more comfort than the dark and dank cells they formerly occupied in the Sistine Chapel but still keeps them sequestered from having any outside contact.

How do the popes decide on electing a new pope?

Popes do not vote. It is the cardinals who elect a pope. Popes are usually dead at the time of an election or retired. In either case they would not be eligible to vote. The cardinals simply vote. After each ballot is cast, the top contenders are then subject to additional ballots until one of them emerges with 2/3 of the vote. If that cardinal accepts the position of pope, he is then declared the new pope.
