What if the result of the House vote is 25-25?
The House must vote again, until it can reach a decision. If the House is unable to reach a decision by Inauguration Day (January 20), then the Twentieth Amendment states that the Vice President becomes Acting President until the House can decide.

Would this be the outgoing Vice President?

IIRC, no.  The Senate could elect a Vice President, but if it couldn't, my guess would be the Speaker would be acting president.
