It is called WRR (Weighted Round Robin). Here are some docs to get you started:

That's for Route 53 (DNS). The subject here is ELB, a different AWS technology.

Yes, indeed! My thinking was that you could use this Route 53 feature to route traffic across several ELBs to accomplish the desired effect.

Yes, sounds like a good idea (if you have control of the DNS)
