which person should I ask to write recommendation?

Considering the difference between the familiarity with your colleague and that with your professsor, I would say 1 is the better choice. Also, you can write an optional essay to explain the lower GPA if you really want to clear it. My two cents.

1. Can I write an additional essay if it is not in the list of essays  posted by a school?

  

You are welcome.

Normally, business schoosl will ask you to write an optional essay to explain or supplement some facts you consider to be improtant in your application. Again, it is the general case.

2. Do you think that the admission officer will trust my explanation of lower GPA without any support? Maybe my explanation can be better supported by some good words from professor.. But if the admission officer, generally, can trust my explanation without any support, I prefer to use my colleague as reference.

Why not the officers trust you? As long as your explanation is reasonable, they will trust (at least before they get a negative impression on your application package).

3. Do you think that one colleague that work together with me but not my boss is a good reference for me?

As a reference, a boss is preferable to a colleague in MBA application's cases.

4. "My two cents" , what does it mean? hehe...my poor English..

Your English is pretty good. "My two cents" means "in my humble opinion".

Good luck!

According to my limited knowledge, Business schools prefer a supervisor to a colleague as a reference. May I ask you a question: for which type of company you work ?

I am wondering that  whether I should choose reference letter from vice president and president or reference letter from vice president and one of my colleague..

To me, either is OK. But the later might be safter.

I don't know whether I should choose a reference relates to the career of my first 3 years before I get a promotion..

No such need as long as you have two references in your current company.

Keep rolling on!
