How is the total postseason player pool derived?

Per MLB.com:

"The player's pool is formed from 50 percent of the gate receipts from the Wild Card Games; 60 percent of the gate receipts from the first three games of the Division Series; 60 percent of the gate receipts from the first four games of the League Championship Series; and 60 percent of the gate receipts from the first four games of the World Series."

Moreover, traveling expenses for Wild Card teams are also deducted (capped at $100,000 each) since the series is held at only one site.

Who is eligible to get a full share from total teamwise payout?

Every player and manager who is part of the roster on or after June 1 gets full shares. Those part of the team before that will receive compensation depending on how the team votes. Either they get full shares or partial shares out of it depending on voting by players, two certified athletic trainers and one strength and conditioning coach.

Moreover, those directly not related to the playing field, like Spring training coaches, traveling secretaries, clubhouse personnel, media relations staff personnel, scouts and the grounds crew are eligible to receive cash awards from their respective teams who will have complete discretion over the exact amount.

Furthermore, front office executives and security agents are not eligible to take shares out of the player pool.
