The new Congess would vote for the President/Vice-President, NOT the old Congress. The top three electoral college candidates receiving votes would be voted on by the House (each State one vote) if there was no majority winner selected by the electors. The top two VP candidates selected by the electors would be voted on in the Senate if no majority candidate was selected by the electors.

You are correct about the incoming Congress selecting the President. Mea culpa. But considering that 33 States have a GOP majority in their delegations, it is highly unlikely that a result where Trump and Clinton both fail to reach 270 electoral votes would result in 9 States losing a GOP majority of their house representation.
