And then is there a vote after the 2 HR debate or is it up to Pence at that point whether to certify or reject? If there is a vote what body votes?

yes, a vote in both house and senate. if both house and senate agree that the objection has merit, then the original votes are overruled and replaced with what the objector says it should be.

If house and senate both agree that the objection is in error, and the votes presented were lawful, then the original electoral votes stand.

If split, house and senate disagree ... original electoral votes stand.

Both house and senate have to agree for there to be a change.

If you'd like to read this process yourself, search for "3 usc 15" and do a ctrl f for "objection" and you can read the exact text. It's not long, the whole thing is a few paragraphs, and this specific part about objections is just a few sentences. But you'll see that this is also where the "2 hour" limit comes from.

Is it a full House vote, which we would lose, or is it the delegation vote or whatever, which we would win?

No, it is one vote per state which we win. Watch the beautiful Jenna Ellis explain at the Michigan hearing at the end. She actually explained it to AZ, GA, PA too.
