probably you are referring to humidex temperature
Tx=humidex temp in deg.C
Tx= T+(5/9)*[6.112*10^[(7.5*T)/(237.7+T)]*(R/100)-10]
T=thermometer temp reading in deg.C
R=relative humidity in percent

I'm not 100% positive on this, but I think humidity is found with a gauge, not calculated.

I don't really know but I would imagine if you took an air sample in a sealed container of known volume then cooled it the condensates volume could be measured and calculated as a percentage of the samples volume.

It can be calculated using dry bulb temperature and wet bulb temperature.You can see a chart in the Clark's Table.
