The event receiver will run under the account of the user who has triggered that event, like say ItemAdding will run under the account of the user who has added the item etc. You can use
properties.CurrentUserId to get the id of the user under whose context code will be executed.
See this blog for more details

I have read that Synchronous event receivers (adding) run on the w3p.exe and the Asynchronous event receivers (added) run on OWSTimer.exe, can you confirm this please? – variable Aug 5 '14 at 11:37

1Item adding and item added both run under w3wp process. If you want to verify this you can create one and try debugging using w3wp process. – Unnie Aug 6 '14 at 7:37
