Answer 1

If you only need the "Contact Us" text vertically aligned you can set #contactUs line-height to 500px.

line-height:500px;

Answer 2

The vertical alignment effort didn't work because the vertical-align property applies only to inline and table-cell elements. (See the spec for details.)

You can align the #contactus div at the bottom of the containing block (body) with flexbox.

body {

    display: flex;               /* convert element to flex container */
    flex-direction: column;      /* create a vertical alignment for child elements */
    justify-content: flex-end;   /* align child elements at the end of the container */

    border: 1px solid red;
    height: 500px;
}

#contactUs { border: 1px solid blue; }

<div id = "contactUs"> Contact Us </div>

Note that flexbox is supported by all major browsers, except IE 8 & 9. Some recent browser versions, such as Safari 8 and IE10, require vendor prefixes. For a quick way to add all the prefixes you need, post your CSS in the left panel here: Autoprefixer.
